How about a UDF?

Function OrdinalNumber(ByVal Num As Long) As String
'You can call this directly from a worksheet cell, as follows:
'=OrdinalNumber(A1)
Dim N As Long
Const cSfx = "stndrdthththththth" ' 2 char suffixes

N = Num Mod 100
If ((Abs(N) = 10) And (Abs(N) <= 19)) _
Or ((Abs(N) Mod 10) = 0) Then
OrdinalNumber = Format(Num) & "th"
Else
OrdinalNumber = Format(Num) & Mid(cSfx, _
((Abs(N) Mod 10) * 2) - 1, 2)
End If

End Function
