MS Excel currency converter - Number to words Latest version

MS Excel currency converter 3.0 has been updated with bug fixes.

This is the new version of my amazing currency converter VBA utility for MS Excel. The macro will convert the currency number which is in number to text. For example, Rs. 14,250 is a common standard to represent the money of Indian Rupees Fourteen Thousand, Two Hundred and Fifty. This VBA code takes the input as 14250 and prints as 'Fourteen Thousand, Two Hundred and Fifty'.

It can be used in writing cheques, generating financial reports, MIS reports, and other accounting purposes. If you are familiar with accounting software such as Tally, you will know that the current number is converted into text. But this feature is not available in MS Excel.

The earlier version had few bugs which were reported by the users. I have fixed them in this version. 

Below is the list of bugs fixed

1. For 1000 and 100000 it was resulting in a null string. Now it has been fixed.

You can download the VBA module here. After downloading go to your Excel VBA editor. Then, go to Insert Menu, Insert Module. Paste the VBA code just downloaded. Go back to your excel spreadsheet by pressing ALT+F11. Start using the new function.

Please let me know if you have any specific questions to currency converter or any generic VBA code questions. If you are looking for any new features in MS Excel or MS Word, I will try to implement them in using the VBA code.
