Changing Row Numbers
 
I have Titles/Names in Columns A through M

How do I make the Row numbering start after the words i have typed? Or can
i Change the Column alphabets to custom words. (EX: change the A,B,C,D to
words of my choice.)

I am trying to make a Student Role for my class. I need cell A1 to start
after my titles.

Thanks, hope i explained it ok.

No you can't, you can choose not to display any of the built in row/column
headers (toolsoptionsview) and then roll your own

You cannot change the Column letters or the row numbers.

You can give the appearance of such by........

Typing your titles in row 1, columns A through M.

Go to ToolsOptionsView and uncheck row and column headers.

In A2 enter =Row()-1 to re-number the rows.

Select B2 and WindowFreeze Panes to keep row 1 and Column A in view.

Note: Any formulas will have to be adjusted.

A1 is still A1 and A2 is still A2 etc.
