Default Name a Column

Is it possible to put a name in place of the "A" at the top of the column? How do I do it?

Dave.

No, is not possible.

Alternative..........

Place names/titles in Row 1 then select A2 and WindowFreeze Panes to keep
these in view as yoi scroll down.

ToolsOptionsView. Uncheck "Row and Column Headers".

You can't change the column letter to a name.

However, you can enter the names in row one.
Then, click on the row 2 button to select that row.
Choose WindowFreeze Panes

This will lock the headings in place, so you can always see them as you
scroll down the worksheet.

Ooooh, such a harsh word 'hate'. :-(

I do hope that you're not rag'in on Peo Sjoblom who DID give you a specific answer to your specific question.

Thankfully, there were other people here who offered alternatives for which you did not ask. Hope you realize that you still CAN'T do what you asked for originally, ie: change the column label to one of your choosing.

How do you feel about people who don't know how to ask for what they want?
