Default how do I change the default name of a column from numbers to lett.

In EXCEL 2007 try the following:-

Office Button / Excel Options (lower right hand side) / Formulas (2nd option
down on left hand side) / Working with formulas (2nd option down on right
hand side) / make sure that R1C1 reference style is not selected (that is, it
does not have a green tick in it)

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks!

In 97-2003 toolsoptionsgeneral, then deselect R1C1 reference style

in 2007 office button, excel optionsformulas under working with formula and
deselect the same check box


For future posts include Excel version
