I want to translate a numeric value into a spelled value. For example $123.55 needs to spelled out as "One hundred and twenty-three Dollars and fifty-five cents
This is simple to do in SQL within an Oracle RDBMS but I cannot find an equivalent anywhere within Microsoft Office
Can anyone help me?

From a response by Norman Harker in April 2003 (search the Google Archives
....)

You should try a Google search for questions as you might imagine that this
is a fairly common question.

See:

XL2000: How to Convert a Numeric Value into English Words
http://support.microsoft.com/default...B;EN-US;213360

and:

XL: How to Convert a Numeric Value into English Words
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;140704&

and:

(courtesy of a cut and paste from a Tom Ogilvy post):

If you want an addin that provides a worksheet function that does this,
download Laurent Longre's free morefunc.xll addin found he

http://longre.free.fr/english/

It is downloaded in a zip file which also contains an informative file in
'hlp' format that describes the 33 or so very useful functions included, one
of which does the number to words conversion you describe (supports various
languages and currencies).

See also Laurent's latest version that is multi-lingual.

This file might be a help:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/...s/num2wrds.zip

It's in the "Accountants" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm
It contains two methods to convert numbers to words and two check writing
routines.

The code is open and commented.

And, finally:



A post containing a UDF by Bernie Deitrick that will take you into US budget
territory by covering amounts into trillions.

I almost asked first but I looked it up: Taswegian: Tasmanian seaman - I thought those little swimmers all drowed after a day or so?
