the option "Excel macro-enabled workbook".

Use SpellNumber macro in your worksheets


Now you can use the function SpellNumber in your Excel documents. Enter =SpellNumber(A2)
into the cell where you need to get the number written in words. Here A2 is the address of the cell
with the number or amount.

Here you can see the result:

Voila!

Quickly copy the SpellNumber function to other cells.


If you need to convert the entire table, not just 1 cell, place your mouse cursor to the lower right
corner of the cell with the formula until it turns into a small black cross:

Left-click and drag it across the column to fill in the formula. Release the button to see the results:

Note. Please keep in mind that if you use SpellNumber with a link to another cell, the written
sum will be updated each time the number in the source cell is changed.
You can also enter the number directly into the function, for example, =SpellNumber(29.95)
(29.95 - without quotation marks and the Dollar sign).

Disadvantages of using macro to spell numbers in Excel


First off, you must know VBA to modify the code according to your needs. It is necessary to paste
the code for each workbook, where you plan to change it. Otherwise, you will need to create a
template file with macros and configure Excel to load this file at each start.

The main disadvantage of using a macro is if you send the workbook to somebody else, this
person will not see the text unless the macro is built into the workbook. And even if it's built-in,
they will get an alert that there are macros in the workbook.

Free ready-to-use add-in to spell numbers into words
For active Excel users who need to quickly spell sums but don't want to learn VBA or other
workarounds, one kind developer created a free add-in - POPUP SPELL NUMBER for Microsoft
Excel

Besides being ready for use, the tool is really flexible in converting numbers. You can choose the
text case of the result (lower case, Title Case, Sentence case, UPPER CASE ), also you can select
how you want to see the fraction:

Spells the fraction in cent/cents, оr penny/pennies, оr penny/pence, or centavo/centavos

Spells decimal point, each zero and the rest of the number as an integer.

Doesn't spell the fraction but writes it as a fraction with denominator of 100, 1000, 1000000

Feel free to explore its possibilities on the product's home page.

The author states that it's tested and works in Excel for Windows 2000, 2002(XP), 2003, 2007, 2010
(32-bit), and 2013 (32-bit) in MSI-based and Click-To-Run installations of Office 365 cloud-based
services.

And all is wonderful about POPUP SPELL NUMBER, but...


I hate to say that the add-in doesn't work with 64-bit versions of Excel 2010, 2013, 2007. And it
is a considerable obstacle since these versions are becoming more and more popular. So lucky
you are if you have Excel 32-bit :) Feel free to download the add-in and check it out.

If you are the one with Excel 64-bit like me, drop the author a line and ask him for a special
version.

Reverse conversion - English words into numbers


Frankly, I can't imagine why you may need it. Just in case... :)

It appears that Excel MVP, Jerry Latham, created such Excel User defined function (UDF) as
WordsToDigits. It converts English words back to number.

You can download Jerry's WordsToDigits workbook to see the UDF code. Here you'll also find his
examples of how to use the function.

https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/2013/08/29/convert-numbers-words-excel/ 21/05/18, 1C08 PM


Page 6 of 20
You can see how the function works on the sheet "Sample Entries", where you will also be able to
enter your own examples. If you plan to employ WordsToDigits in your documents, please be
informed that this function has restrictions. For example, it doesn't recognize fractions entered in
words. You will find all the details on the "Information" sheet.

Hi Sohaib

If You Want To Add "Only"


then
You have to use "Spellnumber" with "Concatenate" Formula

Eg:

If the Value in Number in Cell A1 then

Apply Formula Like This

=CONCATENATE(SpellNumber(A1)," Only")

Hope Will Be Useful

Fabienne says:

Super helpful. It's also useful if you have a currency in 2 words, like Ugandan Shilling.
You can replace Dollars only with 1 word.
so I replaced Dollars by Ugandan and I added Shillings, in the end, with CONCATENATE
instead of Only.

=CONCATENATE(SpellNumber(A1)," Shillings")

How can we split the amount in words into 2 lines in case 1 line is not enough to accommo-
date the amount in words? This is needed when printing on pre-printed cheque leaves.

Can anyone please help on the above?

What if I would like to put a special name?


ex. for 100 will be "clint"

Therefore,
100 = Clint
150 = Clint Fifthy
123 = Clint Twenty Three
etc..

NB: Only for "100"

If you want the word 'Clint' to stand for '100', you will need to modify the code. Try asking
for it on MrExcel forum.

It is very simple to convert dollar into your currency for example if you have a Rupee go to
Module (micro-soft visual basic) enter Ctrl + R just replace dollar and cent with your currency.

Thanks for more details kindly contact on my email. asifashraf930@gmail.com

The VBA code from the example above works perfectly when we try it. Please, repeat the
steps from the tutorial making sure that you paste the code without losing any lines, and
save your document in the proper way as it is described. If this still doesn't help, try our
add-in. If the error won't disappear, send us your workbook and the link to this article and
your comment to support@ablebits.com.

Hi, I have an issue where i am trying to spellnumber a figure in a summed cell. I have changed
the currency to GBP and Pence, but the spell number keeps minusing 1 Pence from the writ-
ten number. If i do it on an un-summed cell it works fine.

PLEASE HELP!?

Hello David,
I'm sorry, but we can't reproduce this issue on our side, the function spells numbers from a
summed cell correctly. Could you try to follow the steps from the post again and check if it
works for you?

David says:

HI Irina
It was only happening between numbers involving 40-70. Very strange as other than that
it works perfectly other than not putting an 'and' in after hundred but we can add that in

Thank you for the document, David.

The problem is that the formula results are rounded in Excel, while VBA gets a string and
converts only the first 2 characters after the separator. To avoid this issue, please use the
following formula instead:
=spellnumber(ROUND(N24,2))

I was able to use the SpellNumber successfully for all numbers except for numbers that are
only in the thousands with any other numbers (e.g. 54,000 or 30,000). I get two spaces before
the word Dollars. I had a similar problem with numbers that ended in the hundred dollars
and numbers that ended with 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90. To fix the problem, I changed
the GetHundreds = Result to GetHundreds = Trim(Result) and GetTens = Result to GetTens =
Trim(Result). I don't know how to change the code for numbers that are only in the
Thousands.

In spanish we do not say "Three hundred" in two words, we say "Trecientos" in one word. Is
there a say to add another clause to list numbers from 100-999
I try to add this but I am getting an error

Else ' If value between 100-999...


Select Case Val(Left(TensText, 1))
Case 20: Result = "Ciento"
Case 21: Result = "Doscientos "
Case 22: Result = "Trescientos "
Case 23: Result = "Cuatrocientos "
Case 24: Result = "Quinientos "
Case 25: Result = "Seicientos "
Case 26: Result = "Setecientos "
Case 27: Result = "Ochocientos "
Case 28: Result = "Novecientos "
