Download and install my add-in from the link below.
Once installed go to Ultimate > Formulae > Add Function and select SpellNumber from the list and click on Add Function.

This will add a macro to your workbook that can be used as a custom functions.
If cell A1 contains the value 1234.56 then :
=SpellNumber(A1)
would return :
One Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty Four Pounds and Fifty Six Pence

Currency is optional, but currently supported is GBP, EUR, USD and Indian Rupees.

You can use in a cell like this, in A1 place your number, then in B1 type = SpellNumber(A1)
