    Displaying a number value in words

    Hi, I'm trying to display a value both numerical and also in english (e.g display both 200 and two hundred, 259 and two hundred and fifty-nine and so on.)

    I'm not sure if I can even do this in excel, can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance

    Now suppose you have total in C5 cell now in C6 write
    =spellnumber(C5)


    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 "One"
    Dollars = "One Dollar"

    End Select
    SpellNumber = Dollars & Cents
    End Function

    ' Converts a number from 100-999 into text
    Function GetHundreds(ByVal MyNumber)
    Dim Result As String
    If Val(MyNumber) = 0 Then Exit Function
    MyNumber = Right("000" & MyNumber, 3)
    ' Convert the hundreds place.
    If Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1) <> "0" Then
    Result = GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1)) & " Hundred "
    End If
    ' Convert the tens and ones place.
    If Mid(MyNumber, 2, 1) <> "0" Then
    Result = Result & GetTens(Mid(MyNumber, 2))
    Else
    Result = Result & GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 3))
    End If
    GetHundreds = Result
    End Function

    Function GetTens(TensText)
    Dim Result As String
    Result = "" ' Null out the temporary function value.
