Solved: convert numerical value to other text format

[070968]

Hi,
I need to convert numerical value to following text format:
5 = five
15 = fifteen
327 = three hundred twenty seven
2,980 = two thousand nine hundred eighty
67,569 = sixty seven thousand five hundred sixty nine
2,87,456 = two lacs eighty seven thousand four hundred fifty six
43,09,125 = forty three lacs nine thousand one hundred twenty five
1,61,02,779 = one crore sixty one lacs two thousand seven hundred seventy nine
34,80,21,455 = thirty four crore eighty lacs twenty one thousand four hundred fifty five
I wish to modify the following VB code taken from a FORUM in above fomat :

Option Explicit

Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber)
'Main Function
Dim Dollars, Cents, Temp
Dim DecimalPlace, Count
ReDim Place(9) As String

Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Million "
Place(4) = " Billion "
Place(5) = " Trillion "
' String representation of amount.
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
' Position of decimal place 0 if none.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
' Convert cents and set MyNumber to dollar amount.
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
Cents = GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & _
"00", 2))
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If
Count = 1
Do While MyNumber <> ""
Temp = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Temp <> "" Then Dollars = Temp & Place(Count) & Dollars
If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)

Count = Count + 1

End Function
Function GetHundreds(ByVal MyNumber)
' Converts a number from 100-999 into text

I don?t know VB coding, please if anyone can help me, it will be a great time saving process for me. Thanks!!!

Hi,
I adapted this code from here http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=285

Because of your commas in the number, column A has been set as text. It should be possible to split a regular "undivided" number in a similar fashion if this is required.

Hi

I am very thankfull to you. You have helped me to save my lot of time in this process.
Thanks a lot for your very quick reply.

With Regards

Hi

Code is working in your file but when I copied and compiled it to my file it didn't work. Do I need to add some refrences in VB tool menu.

Thanks

I hope I'm not pointing out the obvious but you also have to add the calls to the functions in your spreadsheet....look in column B of Malcolms example. Should look like this:
=NumberToText(A4)
and refers to the column to its left.

Hi Garima,
No unusual reference, see below.
Number cells must be formatted as text.
Number must contain commas between pairs of numbers before the hundreds

Hi Garima,

I've just edited your post to put VBA tags around the code - makes it easier to read. You can do this by selecting your code and clicking on the "VBA" button.

Hi

The solution provided seems to depend upon the amount being text with the correct Indian format. It doesn't work on real numbers.

Here is a version I wrote some time ago that works on numbers
=SPELLNUMBER(A1)
or
=SPELLNUMBER(A1,False)

if you don't want to start with Rupees
