Column Number from Column Letter
 

I have the column letter of a cell and I need the column number. I know this
must be simple but I cannot figure out how to do it.

Try:-

=COLUMN(E1)

Would return 5.

Robert,

One way is to use the Column property of the Range object. For example, to
determine the column number of the column "AY",

Sub test()
Dim iColumn As Integer
iColumn = Range("AY1").Column
End Sub

Hope that helps.
