How to convert price currency number to words in Excel
Often you need converting a numeric value into certain language – English (Russian, German, etc.) in Excel. Since by default this program has no ready-made function to make these actions, we will create our custom function using Excel Macros.
Converting a number into text, we need performing three simple steps:
- Open the ALT + F11 VBA editor.
- Create a new module and write a function in it in a special way: Use “Function” instead of “Sub” there. In this definite case, the function “SpellCurr” will be exposed in Shift+ F3 function – Category: “User Defined”.
- Insert the code into the Module and save it there (be very attentive doing it!):
Function SpellCurr(ByVal MyNumber, _
Optional MyCurrency As String = "Rupee", _
Optional MyCurrencyPlace As String = "P", _
Optional MyCurrencyDecimals As String = "Paisa", _
Optional MyCurrencyDecimalsPlace As String = "S")
'***************************************************'
Dim Rupees, Paisa, 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 Paisa and set MyNumber to Rupee amount.
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
Paisa = 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 Rupees = Temp & Place(Count) & Rupees
If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop
If MyCurrencyPlace = "P" Then
Select Case Rupees

Rupees = MyCurrency & "s" & " Zero"

In the settings of the function, you can add your own currency:
Download converter number to words in Excel
VBA Macro code converts numbers to words. After inserting this code into the macro editor module, we have a new function available as FX button. Now you can quickly “convert” the sum written in numbers into words. To use the ready-made solution, we recommend downloading the following example working with numbers and words in Excel. This file contains the already prepared user-defined function and the VBA code, available in the module from the editor.
