Default function for Column Position

Hi, thanks... rolling on the floor (not at your darn fingers) because been
trying to figure that out... my darn fingers was the issue: once have
(many) long equations, past 1 line, "IT COVERS" the column letter you are
trying to work in. Suprised that MS can't think that far ahead. Anyways,
you cannot figure out what you were doing a few seconds ago. The problem:
when re-arranging columns, forget to change row of artificial column labels..
will never have to do that again.

Thanks!.. -nastech

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(CELL("address",A1),"$",""), "1","")

Will return the column letter for A1.

Simply trying to modify equations (in columns) where long equation covers
column letter. Currently using row to designate column by hand, but when
cut-paste columns run into problems, just need to have same column Letter
Position re-displayed. Thanks...... currently have:

=CELL("COL",A67) gets a number, need column letter re-displayed

also: not familiar with arrays or vlookup, if answer & you have subject
info links
Thanks!....
