    Jay8642, your request is my command! Note that I simply edited the formulas for these defined names: 

    1. CurName

    =IF(INT(IntNum)=0,"","Pound"&LEFT("s",INT(IntNum)>1))

     

    2. DecName

    ="Pen"&IF(SIGN(DecNum-1),"ce","ny")

     

    Finally, I renamed NumToDollars as NumToPounds. To satisfy your curiosity on the process of constructing the formula, you can read my articles on NumToWords and NumToDollars. The snapshot below illustrates the use of the NumToPounds formula: 

    The Excel file containing the NumToPounds formula is hereto attached for the benefit of those who may be interested in testing its usage.

As I stated earlier, you may test the formula by entering 1234.56 in A2 of your worksheet. Then, copy cell B2 in my original file and enter it in B2 of your worksheet.

    My NumToWords is a named formula, not a built-in function. You must copy B2 of my worksheet to B2 of yours to store the named formula into your Name Manager. Without copying B2, NumToWords won't work in your worksheet because it is not stored in your Name Manager.
