Please note that in German Excel the "," represents the "." but you
should get similar results.
IMHO any serious spellnumber function should check its inputs
thoroughly and all your suggested versions DON'T (to be fair to
XLDynamics, I did not check recently, so that's maybe an outdated
status of information).

Hello Bernard,

Please do not copy (my) old contributions because Ron has updated his
program, for example.

We exchanged our different opinions.

Still valid is: IMHO any serious spellnumber function should check its
inputs thoroughly.

But I would just generally say now: Test all circulating versions with
the inputs
1E+15
0.123
-1
20.123
-20.123
1.01
1000001.01
for example, and decide yourself what's acceptable and what's not.

Thanks.

Regards,
Bernd

Not all the listed function return values are incorrect, right? If they are,
I'd be interested in what you would expect them to be.

As an aside, here is a link to a numbers-to-text conversion function that I
wrote some 10 years ago now (wow, has it really been *that* long)...

http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/helpers/numbertotext.htm

Oh, and anyone reading this... you can ignore the restriction about using
the code in non-commercial applications only... I haven't enforced that for
years now.

Oh, and I forgot to mention... the code at the link I gave you works fine in
Excel's VBA world and also works fine as a User Defined Function (UDF) as
well.
