Column headers numbers instead of letters
 
someone sent me an excel file with the columns labeled as numbers instead of
letters, so cell A1 shows up as R1C1. Now every file I open has this format.
Can someone please help me change it back to normal?

Hi,

Excel remembers the first file you open in a session and keeps that
reference method.

Tools|options - general tab and un-check R1C1
