Yes

use the following:-

Option Explicit
'****************' Main Function *'****************
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber, Optional IncludePence As Boolean = True)
Dim Pounds, Pence, Temp
Dim DecimalPlace, Count
ReDim Place(9) As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Million "
Place(4) = " Billion "
Place(5) = " Trillion " ' String representation of amount
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber)) ' Position of decimal place 0 if none
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
'Convert Pence and set MyNumber to Pound amount
If DecimalPlace 0 Then
Pence = GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2))
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If
Count = 1
Do While MyNumber < ""
Temp = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Temp < "" Then Pounds = Temp & Place(Count) & Pounds
If Len(MyNumber) 3 Then
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop
Select Case Pounds
Case ""
Pounds = "No Pounds"
Case "One"
Pounds = "One Pounds"
Case Else
Pounds = Pounds & " Pounds"
End Select

If IncludePence = False Then
Pence = ""
Else
Select Case Pence
Case ""
Pence = " and No Pence"
Case "One"
Pence = " and One Pence"
Case Else
Pence = " and " & Pence & " Pence"
End Select
End If

SpellNumber = Pounds & Pence
End Function

I have input the following formula in order to convert numbers into words.
the problem is i am working form three work sheets and the formula works
fine for the first two however in the last worksheet i do not want to
transfer pence over, how can i get round this if a need pence in the first
and second sheet but not on the third. see below for macro.
