inverse of the column function? i.e. input a number, output the corresponding column text label

Here is yet another way...

=IF(A126,CHAR(64+INT(A1/26)),"")&CHAR(65+MOD(A1-1,26))

For A1=52 this gives BZ instead of AZ
For A1=78 this gives CZ instead of BZ
and so on

And if you have Excel 2007, the formula does not work for A1702
