SpellNumber UAE Dirhams Function In Excel

SpellNumber UAE Dirhams Function In Excel

SpellNumber UAE Dirhams is an Excel function manually through VBA Programming to change a given number in UAE Dirhams to written words. In other words, it converts a numeric value of AED into English words including Fils.

The SpellNumber macro spells the numeric value to words as the name suggests. There is no direct function in Microsoft Excel to perform the above action.

However, as many and many users demanded, Microsoft has created and published the special VBA macro code on their website for SpellNumber with Currency.

For example;

If you want to display $ 2,345.50 as “Dollar Two Thousand Three Hundred Forty-Five and Fifty Cents”, using the Microsoft function you can do that.

Whereas if you want to display AED 2,345.50 to be displayed as ” Two Thousand Three Hundred Forty-Five Dirhams and Fifty Fils ” then we need to use the SpellNumber UAE Dirham Function.

We have edited the same code with some changes for the required result. In this article, we will discuss the whole step by step process on how to create this SpellNumber UAE Dirham Function using the VBA.
