SpellNumber Function

SpellNumber – Convert Number To Words In Excel

Ready-To-Use SpellNumber Function in Excel to convert a number to written text. We have programmed this Function for 14 different currencies.

Microsoft Office provides a general code that converts a given number to US Dollars in words. We have created a new code using this code to furnish currencies other than US dollars.

In simple terms, it displays a given number as “Two Thousand Three Hundred Forty-Five Dollars and Fifty Cents”.

Not only that, with the help of this function you can convert a given number to words in the following currencies:

  1. US Dollar
  2. Canadian Dollar
  3. Australian Dollar
  4. European Euros
  5. Great Britain Pound
  6. Japanese Yen
  7. UAE Dirham
  8. Saudi Riyal
  9. South African Rand
  10. Thai Baht
  11. Sri Lankan Rupee
  12. Indian Rupee
  13. Pakistani Rupee
  14. Bangladeshi Taka

In addition to the above, there is one bonus SpellNumber that is SpellNumber Function Without Currency.

Thus, there are a total of 3 VBA codes that this function uses. One code follows the English numbering system of millions and billions whereas the other follows the Indian number system of lakhs and crores.

To summarize, the first 11 currencies use SpellNumber Function whereas the other uses SpellNumber2 Function and uses SpellNumberWC for numbers without any currency.

You can easily navigate to your desired SpellNumber Function using the table of content given below.
