I'm using Office 2000. The columns are normally letters. When using the
command COLUMN(CB7), naturally I get the answer "80". How can I convert it
back to "CB"? Someting like COMMAND(80) will equal "CB". I can't use
CHAR(64+80) because that would not result in multiple letter column. Any help?

The following entered in any cell will return the column reference of
that cells column.

=LEFT(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN(),4),LEN(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN() ,4))-1)

A slight modification to include the specific column reference, e.g
CB7 will produce "CB" wherever the formula is placed.

=LEFT(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN(CB7),4),LEN(ADDRESS(1,COLUM N(CB7),4))-1)

Hope this helps
