Converting Column and Row screen reader announcements to A-1 Notation for a grid?

Hello,

How do I convert row and column announcements from a grid or table into A-1
notation? I'm trying to make a screen reader accessible spreadsheet and I
would like to announce the cells the user moves to in A-1 notation like:

'A1-, 'B5-, 'AA1-...

This is congruent with Excel and Google Sheets.

How can I do this with role=-grid- and or <table>?

Thank you,
