Custom Number Format - Figures to Words


Posted by Jo on February 20, 2001 7:19 PM

Can you display numeric data as words ie 500 as five zero zero or 1 as one via the custom number format? or for that matter any other way?

This function "=SpellNumber()" will convert numbers to money values.
I.e. 1.50 will be one pound fifty pence.

I know its not exactly what you want but its a star.

N.B
