Place(5) = " Trillion "
' String representation of amount.
MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
' Position of decimal place 0 if none.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
' Convert Paise and set MyNumber to dollar amount.
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
Paise = GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & _
"00", 2))
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If
Count = 1
Do While MyNumber <> ""
Temp = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Temp <> "" Then Rupees = Temp & Place(Count) & Rupees
If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop
Select Case Rupees
Case ""

How to use the SpellNumber sample function
To use the sample functions to change a number to written text, use one of the methods demonstrated in the following examples:

Method 1: Direct Entry
You can change 32.50 into "Thirty Two Dollars and Fifty Cents" by entering the following formula into a cell:
=SpellNumber(32.50)

Method 2: Cell reference
You can refer to other cells in the workbook. For example, enter the number 32.50 into cell A1, and type the following formula into another cell:
=SpellNumber(A1)

Method 3: Paste Function or Insert Function
To enter a custom function into a worksheet, you can use Paste Function in Excel 2000, or you can use Insert Function in Excel 2002 and in Excel 2003.
