1999-12-20 Other 0 223
The function below converts a number between 1 and 256 to a column reference between A and IV:
Function ColNo2ColRef(ColNo As Integer) As String
If ColNo < 1 Or ColNo > 256 Then
ColNo2ColRef = "#VALUE!"
Exit Function
End If
ColNo2ColRef = Cells(1, ColNo).Address(True, False, xlA1)
ColNo2ColRef = Left(ColNo2ColRef, InStr(1, ColNo2ColRef, "$") - 1)
End Function
The function below converts a column reference (A - IV) to a column number between 1 and 256:
Function ColRef2ColNo(ColRef As String) As Integer
ColRef2ColNo = 0
On Error Resume Next
ColRef2ColNo = Range(ColRef & "1").Column
On Error Goto 0
End Function
