How to Spell Number Without Currency in Excel (2 Suitable Ways)

We often need to spell numbers in Excel without currency in our day-to-day lives. There is no direct and simple function in Excel to do it, but I can share 2 ways in this regard. We can create custom functions according to our needs in Excel, a versatile application. To know in detail, let’s move forward.

How to Spell Number Without Currency in Excel: 2 Suitable Ways

In Excel, you can spell numbers using a VBA custom function. Moreover, you can also do the same using a complex Excel formula that we will cover in the 1st method.

Let’s say, we have some Numbers with 2 decimal points. Our goal is to spell these numbers in words without mentioning any currency.

Not to mention that we have used the Microsoft Excel 365 version for this article; you can use any other version according to your convenience.

1. Using Excel Formula to Spell Number in Excel

The formula is quite complicated and long. It consists of more than 2700 characters! But don’t worry! You don’t need to understand it completely. You just need to know how to use it. Moreover, you can always copy the formula from our article whenever you need it.

Although the formula is pretty big, it can make your work immensely easier. Let’s follow the steps mentioned below.

Steps:

• Firstly, enter the following formula in cell B5.

Here, cell B5 represents the cell of the column named Numbers.

• After that, press ENTER.

Before we proceed to the Formula Breakdown section, let me introduce the functions that we used here. We used 4 functions here. They are as follows.

• CHOOSE function
• LEFT function
• MID function
• TEXT function
• IF function

You don’t need to dissect each part of the formula as the formula is kind of a repetitive procedure. You just need to understand the following section of the formula.

Let’s divide it into 2 sections for further simplification.

I strongly believe that if you can grasp this portion of the formula, you will be able to understand the rest of the formula in no time.

Consequently, you will see that the number in cell B5 is spelled out as shown in the following image.

• Now, use the AutoFill feature of Excel to obtain the rest of the outputs as demonstrated in the image below.

2. Utilizing Excel VBA to Spell Number

Utilizing the Excel VBA is a smart way to spell numbers without currency in Excel. Let’s use the procedure discussed in the following section to do this.

Steps:

• Firstly, go to the Developer tab from Ribbon.
• Following that, select the Visual Basic option from the Code group.

As a result, the Microsoft Visual Basic window will open as shown in the following picture.

• Now, in the Microsoft Visual Basic window, go to the Insert tab.
• Then, choose the Module option from the drop-down.

• After that, write the following code in the newly created module.

Option Explicit
Function spelling_number(ByVal given_number)
Dim us_dollars, us_cents, temp

decimal_point = InStr(given_number, ".")
If decimal_point > 0 Then
us_cents = GetDigit(Left(Mid(given_number, decimal_point + 1) & _
"00", 1)) & " " & GetDigit(Left(Mid(given_number, decimal_point + 2) & _
"00", 1))
given_number = Trim(Left(given_number, decimal_point - 1))
End If

• After writing the code, click on the Save icon as marked in the following image.

• Following that, press the keyboard shortcut ALT + F11 to get back to the worksheet.

• Now, enter the following formula in cell B5.

• After that, press ENTER.

As a result, you will have the following output on your worksheet.

• Finally, by using the AutoFill option of Excel, you will get the remaining outputs as demonstrated in the image below.

What to Do If Spelling Number in Excel Is Not Working

While converting the numbers into text in Excel, sometimes we see that we are using a function like SpellNumber, but it is not working. It looks like the following image.

In most cases, it happens because you did not create this function in your own Visual Basic Editor. There is no in-built function in Excel to spell numbers. You have to write the VBA code and create your function.

To solve this issue, follow the steps mentioned in the 2nd method of this article, and consequently, you will get the following outputs on your worksheet.
