    "Translating" numbers into words

    Hi,

    I´m trying to automate the payment process for employee totals and bank transfers for checks and and nominas.

    What I would basically like to do is this:

    Imagine in cell A1 is the number 11.233,23 I would basically like excel to translate the number into. "Eleven thousand two hundred and thirty four euros and 23 cents"

    Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Thanks for link, its really helpfull.

    I´m trying to adapt the code to translate into spanish and venezuelan Bolivares and so far I have come to only 1 (ONE) problem that I hope you could help me with.


    With the thousand it will put "Un" before "Mil" but in spanish thats wrong.

    1000 - is just "mil" not "Un Mil"
    1001 is "mil uno" not "Un Mil Uno"

    The way the code is, it will put the 1 digit number before the thousand.

    with 2000, 3000, etc, I have no problem, 2000 is "dos mil"

    Any help is more than welcome!

    Bellow is the modified code i managed to adapt:
