Default Retrieving the Column name (e.g. BT) from a numeric


Hi,

I am importing a csv into Excel (Excel 2000) which will have a
varying number of fields in the imported file.

I can loop over a particular row to get the first blank cell in
this row.

As an example, the test file I am using comes back with the first
blank cell as the numeric 72. By looking at the spreadsheet (or by
dividing by 26 plus using the remainder), i can see that this
translates to cell reference BT.

I looked around in the VB help but couldn't find a property (like
say .columname) which would allow me to use this for clearing contents
and formatting the cells within the 'Active' worksheet.

Here is my code to find the last valid column :

For inti = 3 To 256
y = Worksheets("sheet1").Cells(4, inti).Value
If y = "" Then
intlastcol = inti
inti = 257
End If
Next inti

Anyone know if there is such a beast out there ?

Thanks in advance


Niall Heelan
