Hi! I am very new with excel.
I need to convert my currency to a text in the column after my number. It looks like it should be as simple as =TEXT(D264), however that is throwing an error.
After researching, it looks like i need a to create a Macro, but like i said, I am very new to this so I do not know how to do so.

TYIA!
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
You need to specify the format like
Excel Formula:
=TEXT(D264,"$#,##0.00")

That's what I thought you wanted. If not what do you want?

I need the text to display in the next column beside the number.
For example my number would be $208,000.00. I want "Two Hundred Eight Thousand" to show in the next column

do you mean something like $1.43 = one dollar and forty-three cents?
