The R1C1 reference works with numbers for both rows and columns, with the prefix R for Rows, and C for Columns, with the lack of numbers meaning you work in the same row and / or column as the formula. A1 works with a letter code for the column (A) and a number code for the row(1), with absolute positions preceded by the $ sign. R1C1 is a reference style for excel cells, just like the more ubiquitous A1 reference style. What’s with the R1C1 thingy? I typed the formula in the worksheet as =SUM(A1:A4), why did Excel change it? If you’ve ever recorded a macro in which you manipulate worksheet formulas, you’ve been confronted with the R1C1 reference style, for example as: ![]()
