Solved

Hello,

I need to use the COLUMN() function in an Excel formula. Unfortunately, this function returns a number instead of letter(s). Does anyone know how to convert this number back into letter(s)?

=LEFT(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN(),4),LEN(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN(),4))-1)

No problem, especially since I didn't have much to do with it. Just a simple copy/paste from the link in my message to the excellent Excelabo site.

Thank you, it gave me the idea to use this formula which is shorter and therefore less resource-intensive: =SUBSTITUTE(ADDRESS(1,COLUMN(),4),"1","")
