There's probably an easier way, but it's not clear what you're doing
downstream. This quick and dirty formula gives you the column letter:

name_of_column = split(c.address,"$")(1)

Hi'

I write:

top_of_area = 2

for each c in range("C9:L9")
name_of_column = c.column 'HERE I NEED AN ALFABET ANSWER NOT NUMBER
row_number = c.row -1
c.value = "=sum(" & name_of_column & top_of_area & name_of_column &
row_number & ")"
next


This only gives me the number which I cant use when I'm trying to make
at "=sum..." in the cell for later work.

Is there an easyer way?

...or just a working way? :)
