How to convert int to count of alphabet?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by dongwoon 350

Hello, everyone!

I have to make the following function.

count = 1 -> alphabet count = A

count = 2 -> alphabet count = B

count = 3 -> alphabet count = C

count = 4 -> alphabet count = D

.

.

.

count = 50 -> alphabet count = AX

count = 51 -> alphabet count = AY

.

.

How can I make the function?

Or, does the function already exist?

    Hi

    I'm not sure of the point of what you are trying to do at all, but if you want to convert a single number to a letter you could use num2char([yournum]+64)

    This would assume your letters are already all capitals and you're using standard ASCII. There is no logic I can see that would make 50 = AX and 51 = AY. If you have your own logic you could use an ENUM in AX to define that A = 1... AX = 50 and then use enum functions to convert back and forward.

    Thank you, Jonathan.

    I solved the problem myself.

    public str int2Alphabet(int dividend)

       {            

           str columnName;

           int modulo;

           while (dividend > 0)

           {

               modulo = (dividend - 1) mod 26;

               columnName = num2char(65 + modulo) + columnName;

               dividend = (dividend - modulo) / 26;

           }

           return columnName;

       }

    Did you mean strLen() or num2char(), or strKeep() ?
