BET: Microsoft Excel Formulas - A1 or R1C1 Notation

BET: Microsoft Excel Formulas - A1 or R1C1 Notation:


What is R1C1 Notation ?

 
 

This is another way to create cell references which uses numbers for both the rows and columns.

 
 

Cell References are displayed in terms of their relationship to the cell that contains the formula rather than their actual position in the grid.

 
 

Cells are referred to by relative notation. Absolute references have numbers. Relative references have numbers in square brackets.

 
 

The above formulas will be changed to the following when you switch to R1C1 notation.

 
   
 

Negative row numbers mean that the referenced cell is above the cell containing the formula.

 
 

Negative column numbers mean that the referenced cell is to the left of the cell containing the formula.

 
 

Changing to R1C1 notation will change all the formulas in that workbook.
