How can i convert text into numbers such as
29 as twenty nine

Hi,

I had made a function quite sometime back for this.
It is not very well orgranized, but well it still works.
It is only for integers (Long), and not for floating points.
If the number entered is higher than Long data type permits it will give
error "#Num". You can use it up to 2 billions approx.

Add a module and cut pase the below code in to it.

You can use the function in worksheet, sameway like a normal workseet
function formula.
e.g. =numTotext(A1) where the number will be in cell A1
Or you can use it in code, yourvariable = numbTotext(number)
