Each user who has a lot to work with documents, would like to simplify, automate their work, at least to some extent. Special tools implemented by developers in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet editor allow this. In this article, let's figure out how to convert a number to text in Excel. Let's get started. Go!

It should be noted that by default the function of translating numbers into text is absent in the program. In order for such an opportunity to appear in Excel, you need to download and install a special add-on "sumprop". After you download the package, move the “sumprop” file to a folder, the path to which can be viewed as follows. Open the "File" menu and click "Options." In the Excel Options window, go to the Add-Ins tab. At the bottom, in the “Management” section, select “Excel Add-Ins” and click on the “Go” button. In the window that opens, click "Browse". Next, copy the path to the folder where you want to move the file "sumprop". After that, run Excel again and open the add-ons window again (repeat the above steps). In the “Available add-ons” section, tick the “Amount in words” checkbox. The desired function will appear in the program.

Now consider how to use it. Enter a number into the cell and click on the Insert Function button. In the window that appears, select "User Defined" in the "Category" section. In the list below, you will find the functions “Number of Lists”, “Amount of Lists” and several of its variations for currencies (rubles, hryvnias, dollars, euros). It is convenient to use if you need to specify any amount of money in words, which is often required in various documents.

Note that after you have applied a function to a cell, all the numbers that you will enter into it will be immediately converted to text. Use the “NumberPoS” or “AmountPoPs” depending on what tasks you are facing now.

As you can see, there is nothing difficult. Due to the possibility of installing extension packages, you can significantly increase the functionality of the program. Having learned how to use the possibilities of Microsoft Excel, you will significantly increase the efficiency of your work, saving you a few hours of hard work.
