How to Convert Number to Words in Google Sheets

Converting numbers to words in Google Sheets is a task that doesn't have a built-in function. However, a developer named Alexander Ivanov has created a solution through a Google Sheets add-on called NumberText. This add-on introduces two custom functions, NUMBERTEXT and MONEYTEXT, which can convert numbers into words or currency formats, respectively.

For a seamless automation experience in Google Sheets, download Bardeen and discover a world of productivity-enhancing automations.

Using NUMBERTEXT and MONEYTEXT Functions

To convert a number to words, use the NUMBERTEXT function. For example:

'=NUMBERTEXT(123.132)'

This formula will return "one hundred twenty-three point one two three".

To convert a number into currency words, use the MONEYTEXT function. For instance:

'=MONEYTEXT(115,"INR")'

This formula will return "One hundred fifteen Indian rupees".

If you want to capitalize the first letter of each word in the result, you can wrap the formula with the PROPER function:

'=PROPER(NUMBERTEXT(B5))'

These functions provide a straightforward way to convert numbers to words or currency formats in Google Sheets, enhancing the readability and presentation of your data.
