number description

[fernando]

Hi,

Is there function(excel VBA) that gives a number
description, i.e.

Dim x As String
x = number_description_function(10)
x = "Ten"


Thanks!

Hi fernando

not as far as i know, however, Norman Harker responded to a similar post
recently with the following comments which should give you a good starting
point:

Hi!

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

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.

Hope this helps
