Default In Excel how can a number automatically display in text form

Is it possible to make Microsoft Excel 2002 automatically display a number in
written form, $3,123.50 result as Three Thousand, One Hundred
Twenty-Three and 50/100. Is there a function or macro availble to accomplish
this in an Excel spreadsheet.

The following is a nice comprehensive answer compiled by Norman Harker.

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

See:

and:

XL: How to Convert a Numeric Value into English Words

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).

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.
