    No, there isn't any function in built. But there are many tools that provide such function without any hustle. For example the one mentioned above. Num2Text is also good.

    But, I prefer to do my own coding. Here's an idea how you can do it with help of if, left and right function.

    1. Separate each character in number.

    2. Create a table containing word for each number, e.g. one, two, etc.

    3. Create a table containing reference to Hundred, thousand, etc. (Tricky part is Eleven to ninety nine)

    4. Convert Number to Word by using IF and than attach thousand, hundred etc.

    5. There you have it.

    I agree with the two above. You will need to create a function. If you have a known range of numbers it would be easy for you to create one, but numbers can go on forever. Good luck.

    Very interesting question, thou.

    you have to use the

    =spellnumber() function.

    the bad news is...1st you have to create the function.

    the good news is...its just a copy and paste

    heres the vba script from Microsofts Knowledgebase.

    if you dont want dollars and cents, then the easiest thing to do is look for the quotes in the Dollars case loop and change "dollars" to "" and same with cents...just play around with it.

    good luck
