Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 66161
Numbered column headers
Last modified: 2010-10-23 15:13:10 UTC
Hi there, Normally row and column headers are like this: | A | B | C | D | 1|___|___|___|___| 2|___|___|___|___| 3|___|___|___|___| 4|___|___|___|___| It would be very useful to be able to switch column headers to use numeric labels like this: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 1|___|___|___|___| 2|___|___|___|___| 3|___|___|___|___| 4|___|___|___|___| Excel can do this and in some situations (which number is column CH?) this can be very useful. Thanks for considering, damyan
Hi, this is more or less a double to Issue 20857 . An addressing with just numbers does not seem to be possible from my point of view. Therefore closed double. Frank *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 20857 ***

Hello, Frank, I've read #20857 (before submitting this issue) and it is about referencing cells using R1C1 style in formulas etc. This issue is more of a visual matter - about displaying the column headers of the cell grid. In Excel, these two (referencing and displaying) come together. If this is the plan for Spreadsheet too, then sorry for the duplicate report. I've found no mention about the visual aspect and thus decided to report it separately. damyan P.S. I've added you to CC since I don't know if you'd receive the comment for the closed issue.
