Expressing amounts in alpha and numerical forms serves to guard against
mistakes. If you were to write "one hundred pounds only" but express that
as £10 there would be an automatic check against an accidental overpayment.
If you were to automatically express alpha as numbers (or vice versa) you
could easily make a valid payment for far more than intended.

Is there a way to have excel spell out currency? I am doing wire
transfers
and it is much like a check where you enter the numbers and then enter the
spelled out version.
