Convert Numerals to Text Problem

[Rashid Khan]

Hello All,

In India we use the following format to display currency:

1,00,000 -- Known as One Lakh instead of One Hundred Thousand
10,00,000 -- Known as Ten Lakhs instead of One Million.
10,000,000 --Known as One Crore instead of One Billion

I have used the following code and need help to display the value as shown
above.

Any help, suggestions or another code to suit my requirement would be
greatly appreciated

Option Compare Database
Option Explicit

Function ConvertCurrencyToEnglish(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Temp
Dim Rupees, Paise
Dim DecimalPlace, Count

ReDim Place(9) As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Million"
Place(4) = " Billion "
Place(5) = " Trillion "

' Convert MyNumber to a string, trimming extra spaces.
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))

' Find decimal place.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")

' If we find decimal place...
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
' Convert Paise
Temp = Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2)
Paise = ConvertTens(Temp)

' Strip off Paise from remainder to convert.
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If

Count = 1
Do While MyNumber <> ""
' Convert last 3 digits of MyNumber to English Rupees.
Temp = ConvertHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Temp <> "" Then Rupees = Temp & Place(Count) & Rupees
If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
' Remove last 3 converted digits from MyNumber.
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else

Loop

' Clean up Rupees.
Select Case Rupees

Hi Rashid,

There's code - which I haven't tried - at
http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CoolCode.asp?df=100&forumid=29704&exp=0

Hi John,
I downloaded and tested the code. It does not test the following
conditions:
0.00 - it generates Rupees and Paisa (It should say Rupees Nil and Paisa
Nil)
0.10 - it generates Rupees and Ten Paisa (It should say Rupees Nil and Ten
Paisa)
1.10 - it generates Rupees One Thousand One and Ten Paisa
12.10 - it generates Twelve Thousand Twelve and Ten Paisa

Can u suggest any other source plz. As with my limited knowledge I cannot
get the code to correct the above problems

Hi Rashid,

The problems you found may explain why that code wasn't rated very
highly by the other people who have downloaded it...

But this must be a pretty common problem. If you search Google (or
http:/groups.google.com) with a search expression something like

format crore lakh vb OR vba

you'll find some other code.
