How to determine the column letter from Cell address
Since the column letter can be AA, AB etc. it's not entirely simple. This
should do: Sub Test() MsgBox GetColLetter(ActiveCell) End Sub Function GetColLetter(c As Range) As String Dim txt As String txt = c.EntireColumn.Address(0, 0) GetColLetter = Left(txt, InStr(txt, ":") - 1) End Function Regards, Greg "Jean" wrote: Hi, If there a function in VBA that return the column letter from a given cell address ?

How to determine the column letter from Cell address
Hi Not sure if any of these are what your after. The 7 in your reference = G. Put this formula into B1. Enter 7 and it will return G =IF(AND(A10,A1<257),IF(A126,CHAR(64+INT((A1-1)/26)),"")&CHAR(65+MOD(A1-1,26)),"") Or if you want to see headers as a number instead of letters go to options by Tools, Options, General, R1C1 Refence style. This changes the letters to numbers or if your after VBA code to select active cell MyColumnNumber = ActiveCell.Column http://www.vba-programmer.com/Snippe...and_Names.html VBA Noob -- VBA Noob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VBA Noob's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33833 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=564070 |

How to determine the column letter from Cell address
Leo,
following works in all excel versions and is even a bit (30%) faster than your elegant split trick Function ColumnLetter(ByVal c As Range) As String Dim i& i = c.Column 'Fast and Office12 ready Select Case i Case 1 To 26 ColumnLetter = Chr$(64 + i) Case 27 To 702 ColumnLetter = Chr$(64 + (i - 1) \ 26) & Chr$(65 + (i - 1) Mod 26) Case 703 To 16384 ColumnLetter = Chr$(64 + (i - 1) \ 676) i = 1 + ((i - 1) Mod 676) ColumnLetter = ColumnLetter & Chr$(64 + (i - 1) \ 26) & Chr$(65 + (i - 1) Mod 26) End Select End Function -- keepITcool | www.XLsupport.com | keepITcool chello nl | amsterdam Leo Heuser wrote in "Jean" skrev i en meddelelse ...
