equivalent?

Function ColumnNumber(ColLetter) As Integer
ColumnNumber = Cells(1, ColLetter).Column
End Function

and from bob phillips
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Function ColumnLetter(Col As Long)
'-----------------------------------------------------------------
Dim sColumn As String
sColumn = Split(Columns(Col).Address(, False), ":")(1)
ColumnLetter = sColumn
End Function

 

[Bob Phillips]

colNum = Range(colLetter & "1").column

where colLetter is a variable with the letter(s) in it.

A simple one:
Sub Test()
colname = InputBox("Enter column")
'This is the one that does the trick
outp = Columns(colname).Column
MsgBox ("col no is " & outp)
End Sub
