Convert numbers to English words with User Defined Function
Convert numbers to currency words with User Defined Function
Convert numbers to currency words with a useful feature
There are no features or formulas can help you to solve this task directly in Excel, but you can create a User Defined Function to finish it. Please do with following steps:
1. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys, and it opens the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Window.
2. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following code in the Module Window.

End Function3. Save and close this code and go back the worksheet, in a blank cell, enter this formula =NumberstoWords(A2)( A2 is the cell you want to convert the number to an English word), see screenshot:
4. Then press Enter key, and select cell C2 then drag the fill handle to the range that you want to contain this formula. All the numeric values have been converted their corresponding English words.
Note: This code only works for integer numbers but does not apply to decimal numbers.
If you want to convert the numbers into English currency words, you should apply the below VBA code.
1. Hold down the ALT + F11 keys, and it opens the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications Window.
2. Click Insert > Module, and paste the following code in the Module Window.

End Function3. Save this code and go back the worksheet, in a blank cell, enter this formula =SpellNumberToEnglish(A2)( A2 is the cell you want to convert the number to an English currency word), and then drag the fill handle down to the cells that you want to apply this formula, all the numbers have been spelt out into English currency words, see screenshot:
The above code is somewhat troublesome for Excel beginners, here, I will introduce a useful feature, Kutools for Excel's Numbers to Words, with this utility, you can quickly spell out the numbers into English words or currency words.
Tips:To apply this Numbers to Words feature, firstly, you should download the Kutools for Excel, and then apply the feature quickly and easily.
After installing Kutools for Excel, please do as this:
1. Select the list of numbers you want to convert, and then click Kutools > Content > Numbers to Words, see screenshot:
2. In the Numbers to Currency Words dialoge box, check English option from the Languages list box, and then click Ok button, you will see all the numbers have been spelt out into English currency words:
 |  |  |
Tips: If you want to get the English words, please check the Not converted to Currency check box from the Options section, see screenshots:
