how do you number Rows A-Z then AA-ZZ

[Rebecca Potter]

I need to list the rows with A, B, C, at the start and then continuing with
AA, BB, CC - any suggestions please - fill down doesn't work!

In A1 enter:

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

and copy down

Brilliant - what a star - many thanks for that.

This works for Excel 2007. For previous versions of Excel, the equation
fails after IV.

If you are using an older verison of Excel, try this macro:

Sub alphas()
alph = "A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z"
v = Split(alph, ",")
icl = 1

For i = 0 To 25
Cells(i + 1, icl).Value = v(i)
Next

irw = 27
For i = 0 To 25
For j = 0 To 25
Cells(irw, icl).Value = v(i) & v(j)
irw = irw + 1
Next
Next

End Sub
