I don't know where you're goinng with this, but....
Those numbers are used for reference purposes by excel.
If you'd like to display something different, maybe this will work for you:
Use Col_A to display the "row numbers" you'd prefer.
Then, Tools|Options|View tab|Uncheck: Row & Column Headers
If you need to display the Column Headers, you'll could put them in Row_1.
Does that help?
