Hi,
I have a problem of converting ( in Excel sheet) all amount in numbers to its text type. say column A is having rows with value $100, $1200, $10000 etc then i want to get text in next column B $ One Hundred only, $ One thousand two hundred only, $ Ten thousand only.
Is it possible with some function available in MS Excel?
Thanks in anticipation,
Imtiyaz

Happy new year to all.....
 
imtiyaz,

Here's a function which works perfectly.

Once you copy the following code to a VBA module in your file, then you would use the "custom function" by simply typing =spellnumber(A1).

I need to point out that this is NOT my example. I would give credit to whoever created it, by I can't recall exactly where it came from.

I expect this is what you are looking for. If you have any problem copying the code into your file, you could choose to email me, and I'll send the file via return email.

the text() formula has many formats that you can mix


if your currency ia in col A then in col B the formula would be:


=TEXT(A1,&quot;######.00&quot;) or =TEXT(A1,&quot;######&quot;)add ad many &quot;#&quot; as you need, (1 for each whole digit)

mtiyaz, and ETID,

I think, based on the description, that &quot;mtiyaz&quot; is looking for a function which will &quot;spell out&quot; the number - i.e. $1234 would be &quot;$ One Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty Four Dollars Only&quot;.

In the solution I posted, I should have suggested that &quot;mtiyaz&quot; enter the custom function as follows:

=&quot;$ &quot;&spellnumber(A1)&&quot; Only&quot;

...which will result in adding the &quot;$ before, and &quot;Only&quot; after the spelled-out number.

Hope this helps. Please advise. (And if you could use a copy of the file, don't hesitate to email me, and I'll send the file via return email.)
