What is the formula to convert numbers to words?

Example:

Number Words
568 Five Hundred Sixty Eight
 
Here is some VBA code to do what you want. Use the first function in the
cell where you want the number spelled out (=SpellNumber(A1), etc). I can't
remember where I found this code...

'Main Function
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Dollars, Cents, Temp
Dim DecimalPlace, Count, NegativeSign
ReDim Place(9) As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Million "
Place(4) = " Billion "
Place(5) = " Trillion "
' String representation of amount.
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
' Position of decimal place 0 if none.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
' Convert cents and set MyNumber to dollar amount.
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
Cents = GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & _
"00", 2))
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If
'
If (Left(MyNumber, 1) = "-") Then
MyNumber = Right(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 1)
NegativeSign = "Negative "
Else
NegativeSign = ""
End If
Count = 1
Do While MyNumber <> ""
Temp = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Temp <> "" Then Dollars = Temp & Place(Count) & Dollars
If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop
Select Case Dollars
Case ""
Dollars = "No Dollars"
Case "One"
Dollars = "One Dollar"
Case Else
Dollars = Dollars & " Dollars"
End Select
Select Case Cents
Case ""
Cents = " and No Cents"
Case "One"
Cents = " and One Cent"
Case Else
Cents = " and " & Cents & " Cents"
End Select
Dollars = NegativeSign & Dollars
SpellNumber = Dollars & Cents
End Function

' Converts a number from 100-999 into text
Function GetHundreds(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Result As String
If Val(MyNumber) = 0 Then Exit Function
MyNumber = Right("000" & MyNumber, 3)
' Convert the hundreds place.
If Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1) <> "0" Then
Result = GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1)) & " Hundred "
End If
' Convert the tens and ones place.
If Mid(MyNumber, 2, 1) <> "0" Then
Result = Result & GetTens(Mid(MyNumber, 2))
Else
Result = Result & GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 3))
End If
GetHundreds = Result
End Function

' Converts a number from 10 to 99 into text.
Function GetTens(TensText)
Dim Result As String
Result = "" ' Null out the temporary function value.
If Val(Left(TensText, 1)) = 1 Then ' If value between 10-19...
Select Case Val(TensText)
Case 10: Result = "Ten"
Case 11: Result = "Eleven"
Case 12: Result = "Twelve"
Case 13: Result = "Thirteen"
Case 14: Result = "Fourteen"
Case 15: Result = "Fifteen"
Case 16: Result = "Sixteen"
Case 17: Result = "Seventeen"
Case 18: Result = "Eighteen"
Case 19: Result = "Nineteen"
Case Else
End Select
Else ' If value between 20-99...
Select Case Val(Left(TensText, 1))
Case 2: Result = "Twenty "
Case 3: Result = "Thirty "
Case 4: Result = "Forty "
Case 5: Result = "Fifty "
Case 6: Result = "Sixty "
Case 7: Result = "Seventy "
Case 8: Result = "Eighty "
Case 9: Result = "Ninety "
Case Else
End Select
Result = Result & GetDigit _
(Right(TensText, 1)) ' Retrieve ones place.
End If
GetTens = Result
End Function

' Converts a number from 1 to 9 into text.
Function GetDigit(Digit)
Select Case Val(Digit)
Case 1: GetDigit = "One"
Case 2: GetDigit = "Two"
Case 3: GetDigit = "Three"
Case 4: GetDigit = "Four"
Case 5: GetDigit = "Five"
Case 6: GetDigit = "Six"
Case 7: GetDigit = "Seven"
Case 8: GetDigit = "Eight"
Case 9: GetDigit = "Nine"
Case Else: GetDigit = ""
End Select
End Function



Function GetOrdinalDates(theDate As Date, Optional theStyle As Integer) As
String
Dim daySuffix As String, theDateStr As String

If (IsMissing(theStyle)) Then
theStyle = 1
ElseIf (theStyle < 1 Or theStyle > 3) Then
theStyle = 1
End If
'
On Error GoTo errhandler
If Not IsDate(theDate) Then
GetOrdinalDates = "Oops!"
Exit Function
End If
' Determine date format.
Select Case Day(theDate)
Case 1, 21, 31
daySuffix = Day(theDate) & "st"
Case 2, 22
daySuffix = Day(theDate) & "nd"
Case 3, 23
daySuffix = Day(theDate) & "rd"
Case Else
daySuffix = Day(theDate) & "th"
End Select
' Use ONE of the following formats.
' Remove the remark(apostrophe) from the
' command lines that produce the desired format.
' -----------------------------------------------
' - Format example: 24th day of February, 1999
Select Case theStyle
Case 1
theDateStr = daySuffix & " day of " _
& Format$(theDate, "mmmm, yyyy")

' - Format example: February 24th, 1999
Case 2
theDateStr = Format$(theDate, "mmmm") & " " & _
daySuffix & Format$(theDate, ", yyyy")

' - Format example: Tuesday the 24th, 1999
Case 3
theDateStr = Format$(theDate, "dddd") & " the " & _
daySuffix & " day of " _
& Format$(theDate, "mmmm, yyyy")
End Select

GetOrdinalDates = theDateStr
Exit Function

errhandler:

End Function
