Convert Number into word

Excel doesn't have a any default function that displays numbers as English words in a worksheet, but we can add this capability by pasting the following Spellindian function code into a VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) module. This function lets you convert Numbers into words with a formula, so 32.50 would read as Rupees Thirty Two and Fifty Paise. This can be very useful if you're using Excel as a template to bank print checks.

1. Use the keyboard shortcut, Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE).

2. Click the Insert tab, and click Module.

3. Copy the following lines of code.
Function Spellindia

4. Paste the lines of code into the Module1 (Code) box.

5. Press Alt + Q to return to Excel. The SpellNumber function is now ready to use.

Use the SpellNumber function in individual cells

1. Type the formula =SpellNumber(A1) into the cell where you want to display a written number, where A1 is the cell containing the number you want to convert. You can also manually type the value like =SpellNumber(22.50).
2. Press Enter to confirm the formula.

Save your SpellNumber function workbook

Excel cannot save a workbook with macro functions in the standard macro-free workbook format (.xlsx). If you click File > Save. A VB project dialog box opens. Click No.

You can save your file as an Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (.xlsm) to keep your file in its current format.

1. Click File > Save As.
2. Click the Save as type drop-down menu, and select Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook.
3. Click Save.
