Know the letter/number of a column using a macro in an excel report

This is a simple macro to know the letter of a column based on its number, for instance, I want to know the letter of the column 27.And vice versa, for instance, I want to know the number of the column AA. Usually, I combine with other macros, for example, I want to copy the cells of the last column but this last column is always updated with new data.
