I wanted to throw in my static class I use, for interoping between col index and col Label. I use a modified accepted answer for my ColumnLabel Method
public static class Extensions
{
public static string ColumnLabel(this int col)
{
var dividend = col;
var columnLabel = string.Empty;
int modulo;
while (dividend > 0)
{
modulo = (dividend - 1) % 26;
columnLabel = Convert.ToChar(65 + modulo).ToString() + columnLabel;
dividend = (int)((dividend - modulo) / 26);
}
return columnLabel;
}
public static int ColumnIndex(this string colLabel)
{
// "AD" (1 * 26^1) + (4 * 26^0) ...
var colIndex = 0;
for(int ind = 0, pow = colLabel.Count()-1; ind < colLabel.Count(); ++ind, --pow)
{
var cVal = Convert.ToInt32(colLabel[ind]) - 64; //col A is index 1
colIndex += cVal * ((int)Math.Pow(26, pow));
}
return colIndex;
}
}
Use this like...
30.ColumnLabel(); // "AD"
"AD".ColumnIndex(); // 30
