Try this

Sub test()
If ActiveCell.Column 26 Then
MsgBox Left(ActiveCell.Address(False, False), 2)
Else
MsgBox Left(ActiveCell.Address(False, False), 1)
End If
End Sub

This little macro does what you want.
Sub GetColLetter()
Dim c As Range
Set c = ActiveCell
MsgBox Left(c.Address(0, 0), 2 + (c.Column <= 26))
End Sub

One way:

CellAddr = Left(ActiveCell.Address(True, False), InStr(1,
ActiveCell.Address(True, False), "$") - 1)

That will work in any current version of Excel. However, it won't
work in the next version of Excel. For Excel 12 compatibility,
use


Dim Rng As Range
Dim ColLetter As String
Set Rng = ActiveCell
ColLetter = Split(Rng.Address(True, True, xlA1), "$")(1)
Debug.Print ColLetter
