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.

Using NUMBERTEXT and MONEYTEXT Functions
