Here is code you can use, adapted from Microsoft's example of spelling numbers.
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber As Variant) As String
Dim Dollars, Cents, Temp
Dim DecimalPlace, Count
ReDim Place(9) As String
Place(2) = " Thousand "
Place(3) = " Million "
Place(4) = " Billion "
Place(5) = " Trillion "
' String representation of amount.
If TypeName(MyNumber) = "Range" Then
MyNumber = Trim(MyNumber.Text)
Else
MyNumber = Trim(CStr(MyNumber))
End If
' Position of decimal place 0 if none.
DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
' Convert cents and set MyNumber to dollar amount.
If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
Cents = " Point " & SpellDigits(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1))
MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
End If
Count = 1
Do While MyNumber <> ""
Temp = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
If Temp <> "" Then Dollars = Temp & Place(Count) & Dollars
If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
Else
MyNumber = ""
End If
Count = Count + 1
Loop
Select Case Dollars
Case ""
Dollars = "Zero"
End Select
SpellNumber = Dollars & Cents
End Function
' Converts a number from 100-999 into text
Function GetHundreds(ByVal MyNumber As String) As String
Dim Result As String
If Val(MyNumber) = 0 Then Exit Function
MyNumber = Right("000" & MyNumber, 3)
' Convert the hundreds place.
If Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1) <> "0" Then
Result = GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1)) & " Hundred "
End If
' Convert the tens and ones place.

Result = Result & GetTens(Mid(MyNumber, 2))
Else
Result = Result & GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 3))
End If
GetHundreds = Result
End Function
' Converts a number from 10 to 99 into text.
Function GetTens(TensText As String) As String
Dim Result As String
Result = "" ' Null out the temporary function value.
If Val(Left(TensText, 1)) = 1 Then ' If value between 10-19...
Select Case Val(TensText)
Case 10: Result = "Ten"
Case 11: Result = "Eleven"
Case 12: Result = "Twelve"
Case 13: Result = "Thirteen"
Case 14: Result = "Fourteen"
Case 15: Result = "Fifteen"
Case 16: Result = "Sixteen"
Case 17: Result = "Seventeen"
Case 18: Result = "Eighteen"
Case 19: Result = "Nineteen"
Case Else
End Select
Else ' If value between 20-99...
Select Case Val(Left(TensText, 1))
Case 2: Result = "Twenty "
Case 3: Result = "Thirty "
Case 4: Result = "Forty "
Case 5: Result = "Fifty "
Case 6: Result = "Sixty "
Case 7: Result = "Seventy "
Case 8: Result = "Eighty "
Case 9: Result = "Ninety "
Case Else
End Select
Result = Result & GetDigit _
(Right(TensText, 1)) ' Retrieve ones place.
End If
GetTens = Result
End Function
' Converts a number from 1 to 9 into text.
Function GetDigit(Digit As String, Optional ShowZero As Boolean) As String
Select Case Val(Digit)
Case 0
If ShowZero Then
GetDigit = "Zero"
End If
Case 1
GetDigit = "One"
Case 2
GetDigit = "Two"
Case 3
GetDigit = "Three"
Case 4
GetDigit = "Four"
Case 5
GetDigit = "Five"
Case 6
GetDigit = "Six"
Case 7
GetDigit = "Seven"
Case 8
GetDigit = "Eight"
Case 9
GetDigit = "Nine"
End Select
End Function
' Spells digits
Function SpellDigits(s As String) As String
Dim i As Long
Dim Result As String
For i = 1 To Len(s)
Result = Result & " " & GetDigit(Mid(s, i, 1), True)
Next i
SpellDigits = Trim(Result)
End Function
Use like this:
=SpellNumber(12.34)
or
=SpellNumber(B37)
where B37 is a cell containing a number.
