ExcelBanter - how to convert number to text

Don't believe it can be doen w/o the VB so here's the VB...
'/=============================================/
'Main Function
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber As String, _
Optional CurrencyName As String, _
Optional DecimalName As String) As String
'based on function from Microsoft Website:
'http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;213360
'accurate to Sextillions...
' 999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999.99
'(because I don't know what comes after sextillion)
'
'MyNumber can either be directly entered into the funtion
' as a string or a number or a cell range such as
' SpellNumber("123,456.00") or
' SpellNumber(123456.00) or
' SpellNumber(C12)
'
'CurrencyName is an optional string parameter
' If entered, it will replace the default "Dollar".
' For example, if you enter "Peso", that name will
' appear instead of 'Dollar'
'
'DecimalName is an optional string parameter
' If entered, it will replace the default "Cent".
' For example, if you enter "Pesar", that name will
' appear instead of 'Cent'
'
