Excel Spreadsheet
 

I have been given a spreadsheet to work on that has the column headings
across the top shown as numbers instead of the usual letters (ABCDEFG etc)
How do I get it to show the letters again please?

Excel Spreadsheet
 

Tool=Options=General-- Uncheck R1C1 reference style (in Settings)

I guess it's just personal choice and probably something to do with backward
compatibility with Lotus 123. Personally, I wouldn't choose it but I'm sure
are there are lots of people who do.
