getting the column name
I need to put the column name in a variable when I stand on a cetain cell.
If I use activecell.column I get the column number, but I need the name. When I'm in cell C5 I want to put C in a variable (and not the columnindex 3), and when I'm in cell HD3 then I want to get HD instead of 212. Can anyone help me with this? I know I can get the whole adress from the activecell and then trim it but I guess that there's an easier way. |

I don't think so =MID(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN()),2,1+(COLUMN()26)) but hopefully I'm wrong. -- HTH. Best wishes Harald Followup to newsgroup only please |

getting the column name
I picked this up from another thread - Mr Ogilvy I think -
Public Function CLetter(rng As Range) As String CLetter = Left(rng.Address(False, False), _ 1 - CInt(rng.Column 26)) End Function |

Works like a charm in 97 Public Function CLetter(rng As Range) As String CLetter = Left(rng.Address(False, False), _ 1 - CInt(rng.Column 26)) End Function |

getting the column name
One way:
ColumnName = Split(ActiveCell.Address, "$")(1) The SPLIT function was first introduced in Excel 2000. -- Best Regards Leo Heuser Excel MVP Followup to newsgroup only please.
