January



If you have Excel 2002 or later look up bhattext in help.

Otherwise the following format might help you



[>=10000000]##\,##\,##\,##0.00;[>=100000]##\,##\,##0.00;##,##0.00

(This format separates groups for India/Thailand, format valid for

positive numbers up to 99,99,99,999.99 or 999,999,999.99)

in Excel XP see function BhatText as in Thai Bhat currency.



=BAHTTEXT(A37) [Rupees, Rs., Paise, lakhs, crores] ==an alternative may

be to use Control Panel, Regional Settings, Numbers,

digit grouping.
