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

in A1

=column(D2)

would return the number 5. I want the reverse of that.

e.g.a function that would when pointed at A1, returns the text "D"

This beast does the job, but is there are more elegant way?

=LEFT((ADDRESS(1,A1,2)),((FIND("$",(ADDRESS(1,A1,2 ))))-1))
