This IS an extremely powerful and flexible method which you can use to great advantage
to simplify the setting out and operation of a grid The following two sections explain
how
you can use these labels.
A label may reter to either a row or a column. depending on the contents of the other
cells
in the grid. The baSIC rule when you use a label to identify a row or column of
figures
IS that Abacus searches below and to the right from the cell containing the label.
