Converting words to numbers
 

Is there any way to convert words to numbers i.e. 'One' to 1, 'five' to
5 etc etc

I have found how to convert numbers to words but nothing on how to do
the reverse :confused:

Converting words to numbers
 
you could make a table
=VLOOKUP(G1,D1:E4,2,0)

Converting words to numbers
 
Somewhere amongst the advertising, there was a VBA procedure that does the
