MOD Question

Hi there, I have a question about how to reverse MOD. Its for a computing course where I have to write my own encryption, but to prove it works I need to write the decryption.
I've used MOD on a number and used 26 as the divisor because each number eventually needs to represent a letter (I've made a table and used the VLOOKUP function to return the original letter into another).
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Henry

Mathematically it's not possible to have an inverse mod operator.
See this link for an explanation.
