If you ever need to do this in the worksheet:

=SUBSTITUTE((LEFT(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN()),3)),"$","")

Hello All,

I am trying to extract and use the column letter instead of the number.
My
code looks something like this:

Dim StrLastColumn as String

strLastColumn = ActiveCell.Column

The problem with this is that the .Column property returns the number not
the letter. So, if I am in column Z I get 26 instead of Z. I really
need Z.

Any thoughts?
