How do I set up headers for columns without using a row?

[Guest]

I need to make a list of names, addresses...etc, title the column but not use
row 1 so that there is an acurrate count when viewing the spreadsheet.

Type your column header e.g. NAMES in row 1, e.g. cell A1. Then place all
your names in column A. Then highlight the entire column and select
<Insert><Name><Create...> and select <Top Row> from the selections. This will
apply a header to the column e.g. NAMES.

Then when you want to count all the entries in NAMES you can use...

=COUNTA(NAMES)

and this will give the correct answer. Just replicate the above for all your
columns.

Does this answer your query? If not, do take the time to reply and I will
assist further.

Use ColumnA as your numbering reference.
You can narrow it down to perhaps a width of "5".

Enter your labels in Row1, starting in B1.
You can leave A1 blank.
In A2 enter
1
In A3 enter
2
Now, select *both* A2 and A3, and using the "fill" handle, drag down to
increment as far as needed.
