As an example, start off with the dollars part thus:
With 23.47 in A1 put this formula in B1;

=IF(ISNUMBER(FIND(".",A1)),LEFT(A1,FIND(".",A1)-1),LEFT
(A1,1))&" dollars"

modify as needed for the cents part in C1.

I have a spread sheet that has a dollar/cents amount (ie
23.47) and I'd
like to separate it into two different cells ( ie 23 in
one cell labeled
dollars and 47 in another ). This is for a mail merge
where the word
documents states 23 dollars and 47 cents.

I'm able to get a result using =LEFT on the dollars and
=MID with the cents
BUT if the amount is 123.00 I get errors on both dollars
and cents

the actual functions are
=LEFT(T3,FIND(".",T3)-1)
=MID(T3,FIND(".",T3,1)+1,LEN(T3))

thanks for all and any help
