I am looking for a function to convert a amount (number) to text in indian
ruppees. For example, 23456789.00 would display as "Two crore thirty four
lacs fifty six thousand seven hundred eighty nine ruppees & 00 paisa".

Pleeeeeeze send any solutions.

Thanx in advance.

Perhaps start with
http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/ValueToWords.htm
their code is set up to work with USDollars, but should be adapatable for
your purposes.

I believe I've adapted the code from Ozgrid.com so that it will work for you.

See the Ozgrid page for instructions on how to insert it into your workbook
and how to call it from a worksheet.

Here is the modified code:
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber)
'adapted from original code by
' http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/ValueToWords.htm
'by
'J.Latham
'for use with Indian currency
'Altered/New code left justified

Dim Dollars, Cents, Temp
Dim DecimalPlace, Count
Dim hundredsFlag As Boolean
Dim digitCount As Integer

'we can't handle values greater
'than 10^10 (beyond Arawb)
If MyNumber 10 ^ 11 Then
SpellNumber = "Too Large to Translate"
Exit Function
End If

ReDim Place(9) As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Lakh " ' original Million
Place(4) = " Crore " ' original Billion
Place(5) = " Arawb " ' original Trillion

' String representation of amount.
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
'for this we will add ".00" if no
'decimal in the value
If InStr(MyNumber, ".") = 0 Then
MyNumber = MyNumber & ".00"
End If
'and pad left side to get a length of 12 characters
If Len(MyNumber) < 12 Then
MyNumber = String(12 - Len(MyNumber), "0") & MyNumber
End If

' Position of decimal place 0 if none.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
' Convert cents and set MyNumber to dollar amount.
If DecimalPlace 0 Then
Cents = GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, _
DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2))
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If

Count = 1
hundredsFlag = False
Do While MyNumber < ""
If hundredsFlag Then
digitCount = 2
Else
digitCount = 3
End If
hundredsFlag = True ' get 2 digits after 1st pass
Temp = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, digitCount))
If Temp < "" Then Dollars = Temp & Place(Count) _
& Dollars
If Len(MyNumber) digitCount Then
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) _
- digitCount)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop

Select Case Dollars
Case ""
Dollars = "No Ruppees"
Case "One"
Dollars = "One Ruppee"
Case Else
Dollars = Dollars & " Ruppees"
End Select

Select Case Cents
Case ""
Cents = " and No Paisa"
Case "One"
Cents = " and One Paisa"
Case Else
Cents = " and " & Cents & " Paisa"
End Select
SpellNumber = Dollars & Cents
