Spell function in excel
In Microsoft Excel, you can't directly write a function like a traditional programming language. However, you can use VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to create custom functions, like a "spell" function, which converts numbers into words.
Here's an example of how to write a VBA spell function that converts numbers to words in Excel:
Step-by-step guide to create the function:
- Open Excel.
- Press
Alt + F11to open the VBA editor. - In the VBA editor, click Insert > Module.
- Paste the following code into the module:
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Units As String
Dim Cents As String
Dim DecimalPlace As Integer
Dim Count As Integer
Dim Place(9) As String
Dim Hundreds As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Million "
Place(4) = " Billion "
Place(5) = " Trillion "
' Convert MyNumber to a string if it's not already.
MyNumber = Trim(CStr(MyNumber))
' Find position of decimal point (if any).
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
' Convert cents and set MyNumber to dollars 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 <> ""
Hundreds = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Hundreds <> "" Then Units = Hundreds & Place(Count) & Units
If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop
SpellNumber = Application.Trim(Units)
' Append cents if applicable.
If Cents <> "" Then SpellNumber = SpellNumber & " and " & Cents & " Cents"
End Function
Private Function GetHundreds(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Result As String
If Val(MyNumber) = 0 Then Exit Function
MyNumber = Right("000" & MyNumber, 3)
If Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1) <> "0" Then
Result = GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1)) & " Hundred "
End If
If Mid(MyNumber, 2, 1) <> "0" Then
Result = Result & GetTens(Mid(MyNumber, 2))
Else
Result = Result & GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 3))
End If
GetHundreds = Result
End Function
Private Function GetTens(TensText)
Dim Result As String
Result = ""
If Val(Left(TensText, 1)) = 1 Then
Select Case Val(TensText)
Case 10: Result = "Ten"
Case 11: Result = "Eleven"
Case 12: Result = "Twelve"
Case 13: Result = "Thirteen"
Case 14: Result = "Fourteen"
Case 15: Result = "Fifteen"
Case 16: Result = "Sixteen"
Case 17: Result = "Seventeen"
Case 18: Result = "Eighteen"
Case 19: Result = "Nineteen"
Case Else: Result = ""
End Select
Else
Select Case Val(Left(TensText, 1))
Case 2: Result = "Twenty "
Case 3: Result = "Thirty "
Case 4: Result = "Forty "
Case 5: Result = "Fifty "
Case 6: Result = "Sixty "
Case 7: Result = "Seventy "
Case 8: Result = "Eighty "
Case 9: Result = "Ninety "
Case Else: Result = ""
End Select
Result = Result & GetDigit(Right(TensText, 1))
End If
GetTens = Result
End Function
Private Function GetDigit(Digit)
Select Case Val(Digit)
Case 1: GetDigit = "One"
Case 2: GetDigit = "Two"
Case 3: GetDigit = "Three"
Case 4: GetDigit = "Four"
Case 5: GetDigit = "Five"
Case 6: GetDigit = "Six"
Case 7: GetDigit = "Seven"
Case 8: GetDigit = "Eight"
Case 9: GetDigit = "Nine"
Case Else: GetDigit = ""
End Select
End Function
After pasting the code, press Ctrl + S to save the workbook as a macro-enabled workbook (with a .xlsm extension).
Close the VBA editor by pressing Alt + Q.
You can now use the SpellNumber function in your Excel worksheet, just like any other Excel function. For example, in a cell, you can type:
=SpellNumber(1000.56) One Thousand and Fifty-Six Cents
