When you open a spreadsheet the top is always shows the columns as A, B, C, D... and the rows are always number 1,2,3,4..

When I click in a column the "Letters" and changing to numbers. I have never seen Excel do this. What's is happening to my spreadsheet???

It happened right after I ran into a bug in my VBA code that adds formulas to part of my sheet.

The formulas in the sheet are also now showing in the R1C1-Style References style and not A1 style

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
In Options in the Formulas and then subsection "Working with Formulas" I unchecked "R1C1 reference style"


Thanks. Not sure why everything changes all of a sudden. Never had that happen before.
