Does any one know the code for taking a number in a cell and expresing
it in words as in 1123.53 One Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Three
Pounds Fity Three Pence

Hi Basil, The following is a nice comprehensive answer compiled by Norman
Harker.

You should try a Google search for questions as you might imagine that this
is a fairly common question.

See:

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).

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.
