Imagine an XL table: _ A B X 1 2 Y 3 4
If “A” and “B” are called “headers” what do you call “X” and “Y”?
A and B are column headers; X and Y are row headers.
How do you call in English

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

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

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

It can also be called index

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)

A and B are column headers
X and Y are row labels
