How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
thanks a lot. but i m not able to see the conversion. i want to have "15 stored in cell A2 say to be "Fifteen" in cell B2. Help me in this.

In many posts I saw that issue tackled. But answers always provide a code to turn figures into words with dollars and cents attached to them. Is there any code that turn figures into words WITHOUT the words "dollars" and "cents" stuck to them?

Well, just alter the VBA-code, ommit the part that adds the dollar-part to the string and you're fit to go.

Well, that may sound obvious to users who are familiar with VBA. But I looked at the code and to be honest, I see the words dollars and cents spread a little bit everywhere in the code and I don't really know exactly which line should be deleted (or from where to where...).
I apologize for my ignorance...

Hi,

Fair enough, we all started with knowing nothing ;)

Replace this code (in function SpellNumber):
Code:
    Select Case Dollars
        Case ""
            Dollars = "No Dollars"
        Case "One"
            Dollars = "One Dollar"
         Case Else
            Dollars = Dollars & " Dollars"
    End Select

    Select Case Cents
        Case ""
            Cents = " and No Cents"
        Case "One"
            Cents = " and One Cent"
              Case Else
            Cents = " and " & Cents & " Cents"
    End Select

with (e.g.):

Code:
    Select Case Dollars
        Case ""
            Dollars = "Zero "
        Case "One"
            Dollars = "One "
         Case Else
            Dollars = Dollars
    End Select
    Select Case Cents
        Case ""
            Cents = ""
        Case "One"
            Cents = "One"
              Case Else
            Cents = "and " & Cents & " Decimals"
    End Select

In that way, dollars and cents are ommitted. Complete code (altered version from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/213360 :

Code:
Option Explicit
'Main Function
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber)
    Dim Dollars, Cents, 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 cents and set MyNumber to dollar amount.
    If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
        Cents = 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 Dollars = Temp & Place(Count) & Dollars
        If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
            MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
        Else
            MyNumber = ""
        End If
        Count = Count + 1
    Loop
    
'    Select Case Dollars
'        Case ""
'            Dollars = "No Dollars"

'
'         Case Else
'            Dollars = Dollars & " Dollars"
'    End Select
    Select Case Dollars
        Case ""
            Dollars = "Zero "
        Case "One"
            Dollars = "One "
         Case Else
            Dollars = Dollars
    End Select
'    Select Case Cents
'        Case ""
'            Cents = " and No Cents"
'        Case "One"
'            Cents = " and One Cent"
'              Case Else
'            Cents = " and " & Cents & " Cents"
'    End Select
    Select Case Cents
        Case ""
            Cents = ""
        Case "One"
            Cents = "One"
              Case Else
            Cents = "and " & Cents & " Decimals"
    End Select
    SpellNumber = Dollars & Cents
End Function

Thanks a lot. It should work. But when I tried it out, Excel returns the following message:
Ambiguous name detected: SpellNumber

I really know nothing... :)

That means that you have another function in your module called 'SpellNumber'.

Perhaps (propably) it is the old one, with dollars and cents. Remove that one and it should work.
