1.2.1 noa0 Mode

In noa0 mode (the default), absolute cell addresses have the form RrowCcol, where row and col are the row and column (as integers). Thus, R1C2 is the second cell from the left on the top row. The cell in the leftmost uppermost corner is R1C1, and the cell in the rightmost lowermost corner is R65535C65535.

Relative addresses have the form R[rowoffset]C[coloffset], as in R[-1]C[+1] (the cell above and to the right of the current cell). An offset of 0 can be omitted, along with its square brackets: RC[+2] (the cell two columns to the right). The plus signs of positive offsets can also be omitted. Absolute and relative addresses can be combined, as in R4C[-1] (the cell in row four that's one left of the current cell).

Ranges in noa0 mode are specified as Rrow1:row2Ccol1:col2, where the row and column references may be either absolute or relative, and can be mixed. Thus, R1:4C1:[-2] refers to the cells of rows one through 4, columns one through the second column to the left. If row1 = row2 or col1 = col2, the colon and second number may be omitted, as in R1:10C2 (rows one through ten in column two).
