How do you call in English

Imagine an XL table:


<span style="color:#323232;">_ A B
</span><span style="color:#323232;">X 1 2
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Y 3 4
</span>

If “A” and “B” are called “headers” what do you call “X” and “Y”?

EDIT: thanks everyone, i ll go with “row headers” as opposed to “column headers”

A and B are column headers; X and Y are row headers.

I may be wrong but I believe A and B are column headers while X and Y are row headers

sin_free_for_00_days ,

I’d call A and B “column headers” and X and Y “row headers”

Depends on the context. I work with databases, so A and B are column headers and X and Y are either row numbers, or identifiers.

Hey OP, I know you already found your answer, but I was wondering what you call these in French? (Or whatever your native language is)

It can also be called index

“Row headers” seems wrong to me. Maybe “row labels”?

MrNesser ,

A and B are column headers

X and Y are row labels
