I have tried to use this VBA but get an error on
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace -1))
I have a very simple test workbook with
Field A1 = 1,500
Field B1 = SpellNumberEDP(A2,”GBP”)
‘Main Function http://www.ExcelDataPro.com
Function SpellNumberEDP(ByVal MyNumber, Optional MyCurrency As String = “”)
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
