Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
I'm a bit busy, and I'm very sure there is a better way to do this, but if you can only have those two lengths of values then this should work. If you can have something other than those two lengths, then this doesn't account for that.

Code:
=IF(LEN(A1)=8,LEFT(A1,2)&"."&MID(A1,3,1)&" Million",LEFT(A1,1)&"."&MID(A1,2,2)&" Billion")

Hi,

If you want the converted Text in a Separate cell, use B5 formula copied down, be aware that results are Text and no longer Numeric values.

Or, Custom Format the subject cells as shown in D11, subject cells will display as D5:D8, cell values Remains as Real Numbers:

58270000082.7 Million82.7 Million
682700000008.27 Billion8.27 Billion
7827000000827 Million827. Million
882700008.27 Million8.27 Million
