Convert Numbers to Words in Excel using VBA
Follow these steps to use a VBA function in Excel to convert numbers into words:
1. Press Alt + F11 to open the VBA Editor in Excel.
2. Go to Insert > Module.
3. Paste the following code into the module:
Function NumberToWords(ByVal MyNumber)
Dim Units As String
Dim SubUnits As String
Dim TempStr As String
Dim DecimalPlace As Integer
Dim Count As Integer
ReDim Place(9) As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Million "
Place(4) = " Billion "
MyNumber = Trim(CStr(MyNumber))
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
Units = Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1)
SubUnits = Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1)
Else
Units = MyNumber
End If
Count = 1
Do While Units <> ""
TempStr = GetHundreds(Right(Units, 3))
If TempStr <> "" Then NumberToWords = TempStr & Place(Count) & NumberToWords
If Len(Units) > 3 Then
Units = Left(Units, Len(Units) - 3)
Else
Units = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop
NumberToWords = Application.Trim(NumberToWords)
If SubUnits <> "" Then
NumberToWords = NumberToWords & " and " & SubUnits & "/100"
End If
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
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"
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 "
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
4. Save and close the editor.
5. Now you can use the function =NumberToWords(A1) in Excel to convert numbers to
words.
