Sorry for newbie question...

I want the top of my columns to be titles for my columns eg January,
February etc then to have a space (eg a blank row) before the data entry
begins. Excel is calling my titles as row 1, my blank space as row 2 and then
my first line of data row 3. Can I tell it that the titles and blank space
should not be counted as rows so that the first data is labeled as row 1 and
not row 3?

Thank you
