[Solved] VBA: getting letter names of columns

DNAgirl · Aug 7th 2003

Hi All,

I am making a sample name sheet that appends the row and column position to a sample name found on another worksheet.

So, if my sample name is "potato" (found in sheet1!a1) and I'm making an 8x12 array of sample names in range a1:h12 of sheet2, I should end up with potatoA1:potatoH12.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Jen

Hi

Maybe not a VBA solution but these formulae should do the trick. One with umbers and one with text.

Hope this is OK

Kindest possible regards

Jack

Hi, Jen,

I'm not sure that Jack answered your specific question (although I am thoroughly blown away by the code), but then I'm also not sure exactly what you are asking for. In your example, where is "potatoA1:potatoH12" supposed to appear? Is it supposed to be the entry in all of the cells (A1:H12) of Sheet2? What is in the A1:H12 array on Sheet 2? Is A1 the only entry on Sheet1?

Just call me confused and ignore me if Jack provided what you need already. If not, could you post an example of what you want to end up with and maycolor code (e.g., pale yellow highlight) the cells that you want to be calculated.

Thanks,

Tom

If you have no more than 26 columns you could use this in sheet2!a1 then copy over your range:

=Sheet1!$A$1&MID("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",COLUMN(A1),1)&ROW(A1)

Egad · Aug 8th 2003

Or, better yet:

=SUBSTITUTE(Sheet1!$A$1&CELL("address",A1),"$","")

Hello Jen!

Try the following steps

1. Make a lookup table in sheet3 with the numbers 1 to 256 in column A (one for each column label in a sheet). In the next column, fill in the column labels (A, B, C, ... AA, AB, ..., IV). Call this table Column_Labels

(This can be done much faster than most people would imagine. Let me know if you need the steps.)

2. In sheet2 write the following formula. (I'm assuming that your array needs to be linked to cell A1 in sheet1 (Sheet1!$A$1).

=Sheet1!$A$1&VLOOKUP(COLUMN(),Column_Labels,2,0)&ROW()

This will concatenate the formula's host cell reference to the list item. Whenever you shift your array to another block of cells, the result will reflect the new cell references.

Hi All,

M. Habib's solution provides the output that I need. My only problem, and the reason that I wanted to do this by VBA, is that I and others must produce said output in multiple workbooks and ever growing numbers of workbooks. So I wanted to make it a 'one click operation' that didn't involve extra worksheets.

Thanks for all your input!

Cheers,

Jen

I like M.'s solution.
But it is surprising that Excel does not have a built in column number to letter function.

Anonymous · Aug 8th 2003

The following VBA line will convert a column number to the column letter(s), where c is the column number.
mid(cells(1,c).address,2,instr(mid(cells(1,c).address,2),"$")-1)

Richie(UK) · Aug 8th 2003

Hi all,

You can get the column letter using a custom function. Here are a couple of examples (there are probably more ;;) )

Code

Sub TestCol()
    Dim rngTest As Range
    Set rngTest = ActiveCell
    MsgBox "The column letter is : " & ColLetter(rngTest)
End Sub


Function ColLetter(rng As Range) As String
    Dim strAdd As String
    strAdd = rng.Address
    ColLetter = Mid(rng.Address, InStr(rng.Address, "$") + 1, _
        InStr(2, rng.Address, "$") - 2)
    ' Based on MS solution
    ' Because .Address is $<columnletter&gt;$<rownumber&gt;, drop the first
    ' character and the characters after the column letter(s).
End Function


Sub TestCol2()
    Dim rngTest2 As Range
    Set rngTest2 = ActiveCell
    MsgBox "The column letter is : " & ColLetter2(rngTest2)
End Sub


Function ColLetter2(rng As Range) As String
    ColLetter2 = Left(rng(1).Address(True, False), _
        InStr(rng(1).Address(True, False), "$") - 1)
End Function

EDIT: See - Derk's got another option!

Hi All!

Thanks for the appreciation. A newbie like me finds it encouraging indeed.

VBA is not my forte, so I've brute-forced a function to eliminate the the lookup table.

The formula I provided earlier stands revised

=Sheet1!$A$1&Getcol(COLUMN())&ROW()

The Getcol Function is included in the attached workbook.

Code

Function Getcol(colno As Integer) As String

Dim Colref(257) As String
Colref(1) = "A"
Colref(2) = "B"
.
.
.
Colref(256) = "IV"

For k = 1 To 256
If k = colno Then
Getcol = Colref(k)
Exit For
End If
Next

End Function

PS: Excel file attached
PPS: I'd appreciate suggestions for shortening the code - especially the Array population part.

:spin:

Anonymous · Aug 8th 2003

M.
Since you asked about shortening your code:
My string given above can replace your getcol function in its entirety. For reference it's
mid(cells(1,c).address,2,instr(mid(cells(1,c).address,2),"$")-1)

mhabib · Aug 9th 2003

Hey Derek!

Neat Trick! Works great.

Thanks Everybody!

I'm all set now.
