Why can't I name a cell "c" in Excel?
I've noticed that a cell cannot be named "c" within Excel. I've also noticed
the column in which the cell resides will be highlighted after I try this. Any explanations? The Help files don't provide me with an answer... Thanks! |

Why can't I name a cell "c" in Excel?
Cowgirl,
The names R and C, and names beginning with R of C and immediately followed by an integer are not allowed, due to the R1C1 notation used in formulas when the A1 notation is not used.

I should have also noted that any valid cell address is not allowed as a name C1, C2, etc are all
unallowed names as well... HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Bernie Deitrick" <deitbe @ consumer dot org wrote in message ...
