How to CONVERT Numbers to Words with Built-in Excel Formula?

[Flora Sim]

I am writing cheque and invoices that must have the dollar amounts typed in words and it is hectic to type the numbers and then type words manually. For example $541,125.57  should convert to five hundred forty-one thousand one hundred twenty-five Dollars and fifty-seven Cents

I cannot use Macros/VBA, the only solution to work for me is built-in Excel formula or anything that would not use Macros.

Thanks.

Hai @Hans Vogelaar 

1) For example, 1234.56, my result should be = One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Four and Cents Fifty Six Only. 
2) I got the word "dollar" based on the formula given earlier. I need a formula without this word.
3) I'd be glad if you could help me with this formula.

Thank

Try this horrible formula:

@Hans Vogelaar 

1. $ 1234.56

One thousand Two hundred Thirty-four and 56/100

with No dollars, No cents.

2. Another issue from the formula,
Example: $ 20.25, it is written as Twenty Dollars and TwentY-five Cents.
==>Capital Y is used at TwentY-five Cents. ONLY 'twenty' has problem for Cents.

Would you give me modify formular after fix? Thank you.

@Suriyong 

I cannot reproduce the TwentY, it's nowhere in the formula. But you want the decimal part to be displayed as a fraction anyway.

Hi All,

I need a formula for numbers to words without a VBA code. My currency is Taka instead of Dollars and after the decimal, it's called Paisa instead of Cent. Also require the word Only, in the last.
Here is the sample for a better understanding
1 = One Taka Only
10 = Ten Taka Only
10.50 = Ten Taka Fifty Paisa Only
100 = One Hundred Taka Only
1000 = One Thousand Taka Only
10000 = Ten Thousand Taka Only
100000 = One Lac Taka Only (We called Lac for one hundred thousand)
1000000 = Ten Lac Taka Only
10000000 = One Crore Taka Only

Please help me with this formula if anyone can able to do so.

Thanks in advance.

[#11]

@istiakahmed 

It's easy to replace Dollars and Dollar with Taka, and Cents and Cent with Paisa, and to add Only. But the formula is so complicated that I don't see how to change from millions and billions to Lac and Crore, sorry.

I do have VBA code for that, but you mention that you don't want VBA.

[#12]

Yeah you'r right, I need it without VBA Code :(
