Yo,

I like using the R1C1 reference style, because I am used to writing formulas
this way, etc. The one with the letters gives me the poops.

Even though I keep changing it back to R1C1 style every time I open excel it
defaults to the stupid letter format.

How do I make the rows and columns stay as numbers (make this the default)

Thanks,
Scott

Thanks yshridar,

I have done that many times. Many, many, many times.

However it never stays as the default, each time I open Excel it defaults
back to the stupid A format. Damn the A's.

Scott

You can't make it the default.

Excel picks this setting up from the first workbook it opens in that session.
So if you're good, you could always open a workbook that uses this setting.

If you're not so good, maybe you could add a workbook to your XLStart workbook
that changes the setting and then closes itself.

Option Explicit
Sub Auto_Open()
Workbooks.Add
Application.ReferenceStyle = xlR1C1
ThisWorkbook.Close savechanges:=False
End Sub

that changes the setting and then closes itself.
