Default Problem with Column header ID being 1 2 3 etc instead of A B C etc

For some reason my column header Id show and has changed into numeric 1
instead of A, 2 instead of B, 3 instead of C.
When now selecting a cell like C5 the position is now R5C3.

What are the steps to recover this and get the normal column header A B C
back ?

Go to Tools | Options | General

Make sure "R1C1 reference style" is NOT checked.

Regards,
Paul

In version before Excel 2007: Tools | Options ; open the General tab and
unselect the box "R1C1 reference style"

In Excel 2007: Office button; Excel Options; Formulas; Working with
Formulas; unselect the box "R1C1 reference style"

best wishes
