Looking for a quick and easy way to revert my Column Index Number back to the
respective Column Letter...

TIA

Maybe you don't need to. If you're referring to a range by cell address,
ActiveSheet.Range("A3"), you can also do it by row and column index,
ActiveSheet.Cells(3,1)

Jon is probably on the mark but you could use this UDF

Function GetColLet(ColNumber As Integer) As String
GetColLet = Left(Cells(1, ColNumber).Address(False, False), _
1 - (ColNumber 26))
End Function

=GetColLet(1)

returns A

With the column index number in A1:

=LEFT(ADDRESS(1,A1,4),1+(A126))

Another one:

=SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,col_index_num,4),1,"")

Thanks All.
I need the Column Letter as a reference for the end user.
I got the function to work (from Gord), but i kept getting the following
error if i try and use any of the others "Compile Error: Sub or Function Not
Defined". Do i have to put the other samples into a function like Gord did?

I tried:
colLtr = Left(Address(1, colNum, 4), Len(Address(1, colNum, 4)) - 1)

Thanks again.

Mine is a simple worksheet function. You just enter it into some cell in the
worksheet, with the column number in A1 (or whatever cell you choose to
specify).

Biff's recommendation is similar, but he chose to use a Name'd reference for
the location of the column number.

Thanks Ron, that explains it.
I am working in a macro.
