Algorithm to convert Column Letter to Number

[Fred Holmes]

Is there a VBA function or algorithm readily availble that will
convert the column letter designation to the column number (such as is
used in Cells(n, m))??

For example, looing for an F() such that:

m = F("AB")

would return

m = 28


thanks in advance,

Fred Holmes

Hi Fred,

Try:

m = Columns("AB").Column

 

[keepITcool]

Columns("AB").Column ?

If A1 held the string "AB", perhaps something like this...

=COLUMN(INDIRECT(A1&"1"))

returns 28
