Thank you! Been coding in VBA for a while but never used R1C1 style references. Needed to learn to troubleshoot someone else’s macro.

Hi Jorge,

This was EXTREMELY helpful and just what I was looking for to understand the row and column notation in VBA. Thank you for taking the time to write and post this!!! I have been using excel for a long time, though haven’t used VBA in a few years and need to refresh my memory. I had no trouble following and it made sense to me. I plan to read more of your blogs.

Again, many thanks!
Karen

Thanks for a very helpful Blog. 🙂

A couple of things confused me as a beginner, and in helping others to understand I have found it worth noting:

_1) The expression R1C1 is used generally to refer to the R C type convention or “Style”, both the Absolute and Relative versions. R1C1 in a formula usage is actually an Absolute version.

The .FormulaR1C1 Property, for example can be used, for example, to assign a Relative R C type such as R[1]C[1] and also an Absolute type such as R1C2, ( or mixed )

_2) It is good to note that something like R[1]C is a “shorthand” for R[1]C[0]. Both give the same result.
