我的解决方案基于Graham, Herman Kan和desseim的回答，使用StringBuilder:

internal class Program
{
    #region get_excel_col_name
    /// <summary>
    /// Returns the name of the column by its number
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="col_num">Column number</param>
    /// <returns>Column name</returns>
    /// <remarks>Numbering columns from zero</remarks>
    private static string get_excel_col_name(int col_num)
    {
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(2);
        if (col_num >= 0)
        {
            do
            {
                sb.Insert(0, (char)(col_num % 26 + 65));
                col_num /= 26;
            }
            while (--col_num >= 0);
        }
        return sb.ToString();
    }
    #endregion

    private static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(get_excel_col_name(34));//outputs AI
        Console.ReadKey(true);
    }
}

抱歉，这是Python而不是c#，但至少结果是正确的:

def excel_column_number_to_name(column_number):
    output = ""
    index = column_number-1
    while index >= 0:
        character = chr((index%26)+ord('A'))
        output = output + character
        index = index/26 - 1

    return output[::-1]


for i in xrange(1, 1024):
    print "%4d : %s" % (i, excel_column_number_to_name(i))

通过这些测试用例:

列号:494286 => ABCDZ 列号:27 => 列号:52 => AZ

这是一个javascript版本，根据格雷厄姆的代码

function (columnNumber) {
    var dividend = columnNumber;
    var columnName = "";
    var modulo;

    while (dividend > 0) {
        modulo = (dividend - 1) % 26;
        columnName = String.fromCharCode(65 + modulo) + columnName;
        dividend = parseInt((dividend - modulo) / 26);
    }

    return columnName;
};

似乎很多答案都比必要的要复杂得多。下面是一个基于上面描述的递归的通用Ruby答案:

这个答案的一个好处是，它不局限于26个英文字母。你可以在COLUMNS常量中定义任何你喜欢的范围，它会做正确的事情。

  # vim: ft=ruby
  class Numeric
    COLUMNS = ('A'..'Z').to_a

    def to_excel_column(n = self)
      n < 1 ?  '' : begin
        base = COLUMNS.size
        to_excel_column((n - 1) / base) + COLUMNS[(n - 1) % base]
      end
    end
  end

  # verify:
  (1..52).each { |i| printf "%4d => %4s\n", i, i.to_excel_column }

这将打印以下内容，例如:

   1 =>    A
   2 =>    B
   3 =>    C
  ....
  33 =>   AG
  34 =>   AH
  35 =>   AI
  36 =>   AJ
  37 =>   AK
  38 =>   AL
  39 =>   AM
  40 =>   AN
  41 =>   AO
  42 =>   AP
  43 =>   AQ
  44 =>   AR
  45 =>   AS
  46 =>   AT
  47 =>   AU
  48 =>   AV
  49 =>   AW
  50 =>   AX
  51 =>   AY
  52 =>   AZ

int nCol = 127;
string sChars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
string sCol = "";
while (nCol >= 26)
{
    int nChar = nCol % 26;
    nCol = (nCol - nChar) / 26;
    // You could do some trick with using nChar as offset from 'A', but I am lazy to do it right now.
    sCol = sChars[nChar] + sCol;
}
sCol = sChars[nCol] + sCol;

更新:Peter的评论是正确的。这就是我在浏览器中编写代码的结果。:-)我的解决方案是不编译，它是最左边的字母，它是在反向顺序构建字符串-现在都固定了。

除了bug之外，该算法基本上是将一个数字从10进制转换为26进制。

更新2:Joel Coehoorn是对的-上面的代码将返回AB为27。如果它是一个以26为底的实数，AA就等于A, Z之后的下一个数字就是BA。

int nCol = 127;
string sChars = "0ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
string sCol = "";
while (nCol > 26)
{
    int nChar = nCol % 26;
    if (nChar == 0)
        nChar = 26;
    nCol = (nCol - nChar) / 26;
    sCol = sChars[nChar] + sCol;
}
if (nCol != 0)
    sCol = sChars[nCol] + sCol;

这是我在PHP中的超级后期实现。这个是递归的。我是在发现这篇文章之前写的。我想看看其他人是否已经解决了这个问题……

public function GetColumn($intNumber, $strCol = null) {

    if ($intNumber > 0) {
        $intRem = ($intNumber - 1) % 26;
        $strCol = $this->GetColumn(intval(($intNumber - $intRem) / 26), sprintf('%s%s', chr(65 + $intRem), $strCol));
    }

    return $strCol;
}
