Where I work we have created a check-writing program in excel. I'v
linked everything so that all data transfers to all the check part
just by entering it once. My problem is that I can't figure out how t
convert numbers into word form. What I want to be able to do is type i
the number and then have it automatically insert the number in wor
form in the check portion.
IE: $10.00 entered into the dollar part of the check woul
automatically insert Ten and 00/100 Dollars into the proper location o
the check
 
helen, Here is a previous post by Norman Harker on the subject.

You should try a Google search for questions as you might imagine that this
is a fairly common question.

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, unless you want your
words in Thai:

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.
