    Question column reference

    How can you tell what a column number as referenced by the column alpha identifiers. Ex: Column AN would equal what column no?

    Re: column reference

    In 2007 you can select Options >> Formulas >> and click on R1C1 reference style and it will change the columns from A, B, C etc to 1, 2, 3 etc.
    BTW, Martin's rec is pretty cool too & easier, didn't know that one.
