You might be interested in the int2LATIN function from the Number::Latin module.

Alternatively, since you are using Win32::OLE to control Excel directly, there are methods for specifying a cell by using integers to specify a row and column. I don't remember the details and there are some situations where that method isn't available. That's why I consider Number::Latin to be indispensable when using Win32::OLE to control Excel.

Using your example of column number 703 (aka column AAA):

C:\>perl -E"use Number::Latin; say int2LATIN(703);"
AAA

C:\>perl -E"use Number::Latin; say latin2int('AAA');"
703

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
