In all fairness, I stole this from Microsoft. I get a request for this virtually every week.
Or get a text file with all the custom functions ready to paste right in.
With the custom functions, SpellNumber, GetHundreds, GetTens, and GetDigit, you can convert a numeric value into its equivalent in English words.
For example, you can change 32.50 into the following text: Thirty Two Dollars and Fifty Cents, by entering the following formula into a cell:
=SpellNumber(32.50)
You can also use these functions to refer to other cells in the workbook. For example if the number 32.50 was in A1, you could type the following into a cell:
=SpellNumber(A1)
The Function Wizard can also be used to access a custom function. To use the Function Wizard, click the Function Wizard button and select User Defined under Function Category. Then select SpellNumber and enter your number or cell reference and click Finish. To Create the Macro:
Insert a module sheet into a workbook. To do this in Microsoft Excel 97, point to Macro on the Tools menu and click Visual Basic Editor. In the Visual Basic Editor, click Module on the Insert menu. In Microsoft Excel 5.0 or 7.0, point to Macro on the Insert menu and click Module.
