Hi Jacob!

You should try a Google search for questions as you might imagine that
this is a fairly common question. Best answer is that you should
download the Google Search 5.0 Addin and User Guide from:

Ron de Bruin:

But the answer that you are directly looking for is:



If you want numbers to be translated in Thai then there's an Excel
function BAHTTEXT that will do it. For some reason Microsoft didn't
think non-Thai speakers needed an equivalent. So:

See:

and:

If you want an addin that provides a worksheet function that does
this, download Laurent Longre's free morefunc.xll addin found here:
http://longre.free.fr/english/

It is downloaded in a zip file which also contains an informative file
in 'hlp' format that describes the 33 or so very useful functions
included, one
of which does the number to words conversion you describe (supports
various languages and currencies).



See also Laurent's latest version that is multi-lingual.

This file might be a help:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/zipfiles/num2wrds.zip

It's in the "Accountants" section on page:
http://www.bygsoftware.com/examples/examples.htm
It contains two methods to convert numbers to words and two check
writing
routines.

The code is open and commented.

And:

A post containing a UDF by Bernie Deitrick that will take you into US
budget
territory by covering amounts into trillions.



And:



Orlando Magalhaes Filho (MVP)

A very flexible spell number function that allows, ordinary,
percentage and currency options.
