Conveting numbers to text, like a checkbook.

[xcelentform]

I am a self admitted newbie, but I am unable to figure out how t
convert a number in one cell, to text in another cell, just lik
writing out a check in a checkbook. If the numbers change, the tex
changes as well. Thanks for all who help

There's no built-in function in Excel to do this. You need to use a VBA macro,
either in a module in the workbook or in an add-in. You've been given links to
the latter, I believe.

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).

See also Laurent's latest version that is multi-lingual.

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.
