Cell References Format
I am used to working with Excel when the columns are referenced as letters
(A,B,C) and the rows referenced as numbers (1,2,3). However, some of the files I have been working with lately are showing numbers for the rows AND the columns. Therefore, the cell reference in a formula for cell "A1" is now "R[-18]C[-3]". What is this? How do I switch my files back to the "A1" format? Thanks! |
