Stiluri de referentiere

In A1 reference style, the range is referred by the starting cell address and ending cell address with a
colon in between. Example, A1:A5. This refers to the first five cells in the first column and this reference
remains the same where ever the range is called within the sheet.

But in R1C1 reference style, the range is referred by how far the cells are located from the cell you are
calling. For example, if you have 5 values from R1C1 to R5C1 and the range is called from R7C2, then
the range would be R[-6]C[-1]:R[-2]C[-1]. Here the first cell in the range is 6 rows before the cell R7C2
and 1 column before the cell R7C2 and similarly for the last cell in the range. This method of referencing
is called Relative Referencing.

Though relative referencing is used by default in R1C1 reference mode, one can also use absolute
reference with R1C1. For the same example as above, with absolute reference, the range would be
referred as R1C1:R5C1. To know more about referencing, read How to use relative and absolute
reference in Excel?
Benefits of A1 and R1C1 Reference Style
For human computation and understanding A1 reference style is better but if you are writing a macro,
then R1C1 reference style would be better to compute with referencing to the positions. If you are
writing a macro but you dont want to get confused then you may switch to A1 reference style and write
all the formulas and then switch back to R1C1 reference style to get the value of the formulas in this
reference style.
