Convert $$ to text

[Alice]

Is there a function to create text from a dollar value?
E.g., $3 into Three dollars?

Help me please. Thanks a million.

Hi Alice, The following is a nice comprehensive answer compiled by Norman Harker.

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

See:

XL2000: How to Convert a Numeric Value into English Words
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q213360&

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).

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.

territory by covering amounts into trillions.

the info at:
