R1C1 is not the issue here.
The data was tabled and the option for 'my table has headers' was unchecked. When this happens, Excel will add a 'dummy header' - Column1, Column2, Column3, etc.
One of the benefits of a tabling a range it it also freezes panes for you. When you scroll vertically, it shows your header instead of the letter markers.
To resolve, go to Table Design | Convert to range. You can then clear the dummy header and re-table the correct range, if needed.
