Hi PJF,
Really want to thank you for your suggested formula. I need the spellnumber
formula to be:
1234.56 = One thousand thirty four and cents fifty six only
1234 = One thousand two hundred and thirty four only
123= One hundred and twenty three
0.12= Cents twelve only
will that be possible becoz the "and" word is at different places all the
time depending on the figure. The cents needs to be before the amount e.g
1234.56 = One thousand thirty four and cents fifty six only instead of behind
the 56.
Really thank you very much. Will be glad if you could help cos I will need
the formula very frequently in my workplace. Thanks in adv again.

Ron,
First check the following MS Excel article at:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q213360/
You don't have to be familiar with writing VBA code. Just copy the code
below and follow the instructions above the code field in the MS article
using standard copy and paste functions (Ctrl-C; Ctrl-V). Don't be
intimidated; it's no sweat. Save the file. Then go back to your worksheet
and type into the desired cell the formula =SpellNumber(xxx.xx). It will
spell out the text of that number. You can also use the function
=SpellNumber(XN), where (XN) is a cell containing a number in standard
format.
I've modified MS' VBA code given in the article to do what I THINK you're
asking such that $1234.56 results in One thousand two hundred thirty four
fifty six. Did you want to put "Cents" ahead of the .56? If so, that can
also be done.
Note: the original lines in the MS VBA code for this function that were
modified are preceded by a hyphen (') and have been left in the code but are
not active.
Let me know. Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Regards,
PJF

Hi,
Thanks for the two replies. However I found out that excel spells fifty
cents - and fifty cents only, is there any way I can remove the word
"and".
Also, will it be possible to spell 1234.56 to One thousand two hundred
thirty
four and cents fifty six only? I have to do in this format dur to cheques.
Thanks again.
How to Create the Sample Function Called SpellNumber
1. Start Microsoft Excel.
2. Press ALT+F11 to start the Visual Basic Editor.
3. On the Insert menu, click Module.
4. Type the following code into the module sheet.
Option Explicit
'Main Function
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Dollars, Cents, Temp

Place(5) = " Trillion "
' String representation of amount.
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
' Position of decimal place 0 if none.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
' Convert cents and set MyNumber to dollar amount.
If DecimalPlace 0 Then
Cents = GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & _
"00", 2))
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If
Count = 1
