4 Ways to Convert Number to Words in Excel
This section of the article explains how to convert numbers to words in Excel. Moreover, we’re going to demonstrate four techniques to perform the operation. For conducting the session, we’re going to use Microsoft 365 version.
1. Use of Combined Functions in Excel to Convert Number to Words
The Excel formula that we used here relies on four functions. The LEFT, MID, TEXT, and CHOOSE functions.
Firstly, syntax of the LEFT function is as follows:
Basically, this function is used to extract characters from text.
Text: The text string to extract the characters from.
num_chars [Optional]: The number of characters to extract. It starts from the left. By default, num_chars=1.
Secondly, the syntax of the MID function is as follows:
Actually, this function is used to extract text from inside a string.
Text: The text to extract from.
start_num: The location of the first character to extract.
num_chars: The number of characters to extract.
Thirdly, the syntax of the TEXT function is as follows:
Eventually, this function converts a number into a text in number format.
value: The number to convert.
format_text: The number format to use.
Next, the syntax of the CHOOSE function is as follows:
This function gets a value from a list based on position.
index_num: The value to choose. A number between 1 and 254.
value1: The first value from which to choose.
value2 [optional]: The second value from which to choose.
- Here, we will convert the number in the Numbers in Words column.
- Now, write down the following formula in the C5 cell.
=CHOOSE(LEFT(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″))+1,,”One”,”Two”,”Three”,”Four”,”Five”,”Six”,”Seven”,”Eight”,”Nine”)
&IF(–LEFT(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″))=0,,IF(AND(–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),2,1)=0,–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),3,1)=0),” Hundred”,” Hundred and “))
&CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),2,1)+1,,,”Twenty “,”Thirty “,”Forty “,”Fifty “,”Sixty “,”Seventy “,”Eighty “,”Ninety “)
&IF(–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),2,1)<>1,CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),3,1)+1,,”One”,”Two”,”Three”,”Four”,”Five”,”Six”,”Seven”,”Eight”,”Nine”),
CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),3,1)+1,”Ten”,”Eleven”,”Twelve”,”Thirteen”,”Fourteen”,”Fifteen”,”Sixteen”,”Seventeen”,”Eighteen”,”Nineteen”))
&IF((–LEFT(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″))+MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),2,1)+MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),3,1))=0,,IF(AND((–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),4,1)+MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),5,1)+MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),6,1)+MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),7,1))=0,(–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),8,1)+RIGHT(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″)))>0),” Million and “,” Million “))
&CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),4,1)+1,,”One”,”Two”,”Three”,”Four”,”Five”,”Six”,”Seven”,”Eight”,”Nine”)
&IF(–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),4,1)=0,,IF(AND(–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),5,1)=0,–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),6,1)=0),” Hundred”,” Hundred and”))
&CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),5,1)+1,,,” Twenty”,” Thirty”,” Forty”,” Fifty”,” Sixty”,” Seventy”,” Eighty”,” Ninety”)
&IF(–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),5,1)<>1,CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),6,1)+1,,” One”,” Two”,” Three”,” Four”,” Five”,” Six”,” Seven”,” Eight”,” Nine”),CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),6,1)+1,” Ten”,” Eleven”,” Twelve”,” Thirteen”,” Fourteen”,” Fifteen”,” Sixteen”,” Seventeen”,” Eighteen”,” Nineteen”))
&IF((–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),4,1)+MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),5,1)+MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),6,1))=0,,IF(OR((–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),7,1)+MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),8,1)+MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),9,1))=0,–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),7,1)<>0),” Thousand “,” Thousand and “))
&CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),7,1)+1,,”One”,”Two”,”Three”,”Four”,”Five”,”Six”,”Seven”,”Eight”,”Nine”)
&IF(–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),7,1)=0,,IF(AND(–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),8,1)=0,–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),9,1)=0),” Hundred “,” Hundred and “))&
CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),8,1)+1,,,”Twenty “,”Thirty “,”Forty “,”Fifty “,”Sixty “,”Seventy “,”Eighty “,”Ninety “)
&IF(–MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),8,1)<>1,CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),9,1)+1,,”One”,”Two”,”Three”,”Four”,”Five”,”Six”,”Seven”,”Eight”,”Nine”),CHOOSE(MID(TEXT(B5,”000000000.00″),9,1)+1,”Ten”,”Eleven”,”Twelve”,”Thirteen”,”Fourteen”,”Fifteen”,”Sixteen”,”Seventeen”,”Eighteen”,”Nineteen”))
The entire formula may appear complicated at first glance, yet it is essentially a repetition of a single portion. So, if you can understand the first portion of the formula, you should be able to understand the rest.
- Subsequently, press ENTER.
As a result, you will see the following output.
Formula Breakdown:
At first, the TEXT function is used here to turn the number into a “000000000.00” text format.
TEXT(B7,”000000000.00″)
After that, the LEFT function is used to extract the left-most character from the number. It allows us to identify if the return number is zero or any other value.
LEFT(TEXT(B7,”000000000.00″))
Next, the CHOOSE function is used to represent the extracted number with appropriate words.
CHOOSE(LEFT(TEXT(B7,”000000000.00″))+1,,”One”,”Two”,”Three”,”Four”,”Five”,”Six”,”Seven”,”Eight”,”Nine”)
Now, it checks if the value is zero or not. If it is zero then it displays nothing.
CHOOSE(LEFT(TEXT(B7,”000000000.00″))+1,,”One”,”Two”,”Three”,”Four”,”Five”,”Six”,”Seven”,”Eight”,”Nine”)
&IF(–LEFT(TEXT(B7,”000000000.00″))=0,,
It will display “Hundred” if the next two numbers are zero. Otherwise, it will display “Hundred and.”
CHOOSE(LEFT(TEXT(B7,”000000000.00″))+1,,”One”,”Two”,”Three”,”Four”,”Five”,”Six”,”Seven”,”Eight”,”Nine”)
&IF(–LEFT(TEXT(B7,”000000000.00″))=0,,IF(AND(–MID(TEXT(B7,”000000000.00″),2,1)=0,–MID(TEXT(B7,”000000000.00″),3,1)=0),” Hundred”,” Hundred and “))
This formula does not require VBA or arrays. It’s an excellent method for turning numbers into words. However, it has two flaws. One, it can’t perfectly represent decimal numbers after points. Two, the maximum number limit is 999, 999, 999. Actually, Mr. Pete M. came up with this formula.
- Now, you can write the formula for the rest of the rows or simply use Excel AutoFill Feature.
Lastly, you will get all the converted numbers into words.

2. Applying VLOOKUP Function to Convert Numbers to Words
You can apply the VLOOKUP function to convert numbers to words in Excel. Let’s do something different. Here, you have to insert all the numbers in words first then you may use this function to convert any number into words from them.
Steps:
- Firstly, write down all the numbers in words manually in the C column.
- Now, use the following formula in the C12 cell.
=VLOOKUP(B12,B4:C9,2,FALSE)- Then, press ENTER.
Formula Breakdown
In this formula, the VLOOKUP function will return a value from a given array.
- Firstly, B12 is the lookup value that it looks for in the given table.
- Secondly, B4:C9 is the table array in which it looks for the target value.
- Thirdly, 2 is the number of columns in the table from which a value is to be returned.
- Fourthly, False denotes an exact match.

xValue = Right("000" & xValue, 3)
If Mid(xValue, 1, 1) <> "0" Then
xHundred = get_digit(Mid(xValue, 1, 1)) & " Hundred "
End If
If Mid(xValue, 2, 1) <> "0" Then
xHundred = xHundred & get_ten(Mid(xValue, 2))
Else
xHundred = xHundred & get_digit(Mid(xValue, 3))
End If
End If
If xHundred <> "" Then
converted_into_dollar = xHundred & my_ary(xIndex) & Dollar
End If
If Len(whole_number) > 3 Then
whole_number = Left(whole_number, Len(whole_number) - 3)
Else
whole_number = ""
End If
xIndex = xIndex + 1
Loop
Select Case converted_into_dollar
Case ""
converted_into_dollar = " Zero Dollar"
Case "One"
converted_into_dollar = " One Dollar"
Case Else
converted_into_dollar = converted_into_dollar & "Dollars"
End Select
Select Case converted_into_cent
Case ""
converted_into_cent = " and Zero Cent"
Case "One"
converted_into_cent = " and One Cent"
Case Else

Hi, this is excellent. Just one query…
I used Solution 3: Using a VBA to convert Number to words in Excel
I’d like to output “nil” or “zero” when I enter the digit zero 0. At present, when I enter 0 in the cell, nothing gets outputted as text.
For example; if A1=0, B1=number_converting_into_words(A1) outputs no text. No error, it’s just blank.
Any ideas where I can change this in the code?
Dear Damien,
Thank you for your comment. To get “zero” or “Nil” for the value 0, you have to simply add an IF statement with the code.
you can use the following code:

Dear MD. KAMAL HOSSAIN,
To obtain your required format please follow the following simple steps:
From your Excel Workbook, press ALT + F11 to open Visual Basic Editor.
Insert a module.
Paste the following code:
Now, return to your worksheet. Type in the following formula in the cell where you require the output and press Enter key.
=NumberToWords(B5) & ” Taka Only”
Here, B5 indicates the reference of the cell where you have the input number.
I hope this solution will be sufficient for your requirements. Let us know your feedback.

I want to implement convert formula in all excel sheets. Requested to please furnish me the way.
Dear MUHAMMAD,
In order to apply the number to words conversion in all worksheets of a particular workbook., you can create a function and place it in a module. As you have created a function in a module, it will be available in all worksheets of that particular workbook.
Like I have created a module and a function named number_converting_into_words with the following VBA code.
Now, you can call the function in all worksheets of that particular workbook in the following way and have your number converted into words.
I hope you have found your desired answer.
Your regards,
Naimul Hasan Arif
Thanks a lot for this.
When I used the module 2 code, the converted word didn’t come out complete. 99,756.86 came out as ninety nine thousand naira eight six kobo
I had changed dollar to my currency in module 2 code. Could that be the problem?
Dear Max,
Thank you for your query. Changing the currency is not the reason behind the incorrect output of the module 2 code. Actually, the code is not working for the last 3 digits of the whole number part. Here is the modified code of module 1 that may help you. This will give the correct result hopefully.
Copy the code in your module and Run the code.
I hope you have got your problem solved. Thank you.
