repair excel column headings

Excel column headings have been changed from A, B, C etc. to numbers 1,2,3.  How can I revert to letters?

If you're on Windows:

  • Select File > Options.
  • Select Formulas in the navigation pane on the left.
  • Clear the check box R1C1 reference style in the Working with formulas section.
  • Click OK.

If you're on Mac:

  • Select Preferences from the Excel menu.
  • Select General.
  • Clear the check box R1C1 reference style.
