Columns and rows are labeled numerically in Excel
- Article
- 05/05/2022
- 2 minutes to read
- Applies to:Excel 2000
In this article
Symptoms
Your column labels are numeric rather than alphabetic. For example, instead of seeing A, B, and C at the top of your worksheet columns, you see 1, 2, 3, and so on.
Cause
This behavior occurs when the R1C1 reference style check box is selected in the Options dialog box.
Resolution
To change this behavior, follow these steps:
- Start Microsoft Excel.
- On the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Formulas tab.
- Under Working with formulas, click to clear the R1C1 reference style check box (upper-left corner), and then click OK.
If you select the R1C1 reference style check box, Excel changes the reference style of both row and column headings, and cell references from the A1 style to the R1C1 style.
More information
A1 Reference Style vs. R1C1 Reference Style
The A1 Reference Style
By default, Excel uses the A1 reference style, which refers to columns as letters (A through IV, for a total of 256 columns), and refers to rows as numbers (1 through 65,536). These letters and numbers are called row and column headings. To refer to a cell, type the column letter followed by the row number. For example, D50 refers to the cell at the intersection of column D and row 50. To refer to a range of cells, type the reference for the cell that is in the upper-left corner of the range, type a colon (:), and then type the reference to the cell that is in the lower-right corner of the range.
The R1C1 Reference Style
Excel can also use the R1C1 reference style, in which both the rows and the columns on the worksheet are numbered. The R1C1 reference style is useful if you want to compute row and column positions in macros. In the R1C1 style, Excel indicates the location of a cell with an "R" followed by a row number and a "C" followed by a column number.

Introduction
Whenever you work with Excel, you'll enter information—or content—into cells. Cells are the basic building blocks of a worksheet. You'll need to learn the basics of cells and cell content to calculate, analyze, and organize data in Excel.
Optional: Download our practice workbook.
Watch the video below to learn more about the basics of working with cells.

Understanding cells
Every worksheet is made up of thousands of rectangles, which are called cells. A cell is the intersection of a row and a column—in other words, where a row and column meet.
Columns are identified by letters (A, B, C), while rows are identified by numbers (1, 2, 3).Each cell has its own name—or cell
address—based on its column and row. In the example below, the selected cell intersects column C and row 5, so the cell address is C5.
Note that the cell address also appears in the Name box in the top-left corner, and that a cell's column and row headings are highlighted when the cell is selected.
You can also select multiple cells the same time. A group of cells is known as a cell range. Rather than a single cell address, you will refer to a cell range using the cell addresses of the first and last cells in the cell range, separated by a colon. For example, a cell range that included cells A1, A2, A3, A4, and A5 would be written as A1:A5. Take a look the different cell ranges below:
- Cell range
A1:A8
If the columns in your spreadsheet are labeled with numbers instead of letters, you'll need to change the default reference style for Excel. Review our Extra on What are Reference Styles? to learn how.
To select a cell:
To input or edit cell content, you'll first need to select the cell.
Click a cell to select it. In our example, we'll select cell D9.A border will appear around the selected cell, and the column heading and row heading will be highlighted. The cell will remain selected until you click another cell in the worksheet.
You can also select cells using the arrow keys on your keyboard.
To select a cell range:
Sometimes you may want to select a larger group of cells, or a cell range.
Click and drag the mouse until all of the adjoining cells you want to select are highlighted. In our example, we'll select the cell range B5:C18.Release the mouse to select the desired cell range. The cells will remain selecteduntil you click another cell in the worksheet.
Cell content
Any information you enter into a spreadsheet will be stored in a cell. Each cell can contain different types of content, including text, formatting, formulas, and functions.
- Text:Cells can contain text, such as letters, numbers, and
dates.
To insert content:Click a cell to select it. In our example, we'll select cell F9.
You can also use the Delete key on your keyboard to delete content from multiple cells once. The Backspace key will only delete content from one cell a time.
To delete cells:
There is an important difference between deleting the content of a cell and deleting the cell itself. If you delete the entire cell, the cells below it will shift to fill in the gaps and replace the deleted cells.
Select the cell(s) you want to delete. In our example, we'll select A10:H10.
Excel allows you to copy content that is already entered into your spreadsheet and paste that content to other cells, which can save you time and effort.
Select the cell(s) you want to copy. In our example, we'll select F9.
You can also access additional paste options, which are especially convenient when working with cells that contain formulas or formatting. Just click the drop-down arrow on the Paste command to see these options.
Instead of choosing commands from the Ribbon, you can access commands quickly by right-clicking. Simply select the cell(s) you want to format, then right-click the mouse. A drop-down menu will appear, where you'll find several commands that are also located on the Ribbon.
Unlike copying and pasting, which duplicates cell content, cutting allows you to move content between cells.
Select the cell(s) you want to cut. In our example, we'll select G5:G6.Right-click the mouse and select the Cut command. Alternatively, you can use the command on the trang chủ tab, or press Ctrl+X on your keyboard.
Instead of cutting, copying, and pasting, you can drag and drop cells to move their contents.
Select the cell(s) you want to move. In our example, we'll select H4:H12.Hover the mouse over the border of the selected cell(s) until the mouse changes to a pointer with four arrows.
If you're copying cell content to adjacent cells in the same row or column, the fill handle is a good alternative to the copy and paste commands.
Select the cell(s) containing the content you want to use, then hover the mouse over the lower-right corner of the cell so the fill handle appears.
The fill handle can also be used to continue a series. Whenever the content of a row or column follows a sequential order, like numbers (1, 2, 3) or days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday), the fill handle can guess what should come next in the series. In most cases, you will need to select multiple cells before using the fill handle to help Excel determine the series order. Let's take a look an example:
Select the cell range that contains the series you want to continue. In our example, we'll select E4:G4.Click and drag the fill handle to continue the series.
You can also double-click the fill handle instead
of clicking and dragging. This can be useful with larger spreadsheets, where clicking and dragging may be awkward.
Watch the video below to see an example of double-clicking the fill handle.

Challenge!
Open our practice workbook.Select cell D6 and type hlee.Clear the contents in row 14.Delete column G.Using either cut and paste or drag and drop, move the contents of row 18 to row 14.Use the fill handle to put an X in cells F9:F17.When you're finished, your workbook should look like this:

How rows are numbered in MS Excel?
By default, Excel uses the A1 reference style, which refers to columns as letters (A through IV, for a total of 256 columns), and refers to rows as numbers (1 through 65,536). These letters and numbers are called row and column headings.
How are rows identified in a spreadsheet?
What is a row in Excel? Each row is denoted and identified by a unique numeric value that you'll see on the left hand side. The row numbers are arranged vertically on the worksheet, ranging from 1-1,048,576 (you can have a total of 1,048,576 rows in Excel). The rows themselves run horizontally on a worksheet.
