Conversion of Excel Numerical figures into word names
The Question for how to convert numerical data into word names in an Excel Spreadsheet is given hereunder:
How to create the sample function Called SpellNumber
1. Start Microsoft Excel.
2. Press ALT+F11 to start the Visual Basic Editor.
3. On the Insert menu, click Module.
4. Type the following code into the module sheet.
NOTED: IF any body desires to change currency, then he may modify the currency as per country in the following module as follows:
FOR EXAMPLE; In Pakistan, currency is used as 'Rupees' and 'Paisas'
For 'Dollars' , you may modify it as 'Rupees'
For 'Dollar' , you may modify it as 'Rupee'
For 'Cents' , you may modify it as 'Cents'
For 'Cent' , you may modify it as 'Cent'
Option Explicit

How to use the SpellNumber sample function
To use the sample functions to change a number to written text, use one of the methods demonstrated in the following examples:
Method 1: Direct Entry
You can change 32.50 into "Thirty Two Rupees and Fifty Paisas" by entering the following formula into a cell: =SpellNumber(32.50)
Method 2: Cell reference
You can refer to other cells in the workbook. For example, enter the number 32.50 into cell A1, and type the following formula into another cell:
=SpellNumber(A1)
