Hello Jigs,

This will require a UDF (User Defined Function), not just a simple formula.

Read the following post (post #2) by Rick Rothstein way back in 2012. He has supplied an excellent solution for the OP which will work for you also.

https://www.mrexcel.com/board/threads/convert-date-to-words.615519/

Place the UDF in a standard module. I have modified it as follows to allow for proper English grammar and punctuation in the end result:-


Function DateToWords(ByVal DateIn As Variant) As String
  Dim Yrs As String
  Dim Hundreds As String
  Dim Decades As String
  Dim Tens As Variant
  Dim Ordinal As Variant
  Dim Cardinal As Variant
  Ordinal = Array("First", "Second", "Third", _
                   "Fourth", "Fifth", "Sixth", _
                   "Seventh", "Eighth", "Nineth", _
                   "Tenth", "Eleventh", "Twelfth", _
                   "Thirteenth", "Fourteenth", _
                   "Fifteenth", "Sixteenth", _
                   "Seventeenth", "Eighteenth", _
                   "Nineteenth", "Twentieth", _
                   "Twenty first", "Twenty second", _
                   "Twenty third", "Twenty fourth", _
                   "Twenty fifth", "Twenty sixth", _
                   "Twenty seventh", "Twenty eighth", _
                   "Twenty nineth", "Thirtieth", _
                   "Thirty first")
  Cardinal = Array("", "One", "Two", "Three", "Four", _
                   "Five", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Nine", _
                   "Ten", "Eleven", "Twelve", "Thirteen", _
                   "Fourteen", "Fifteen", "Sixteen", _
                   "Seventeen", "Eighteen", "Nineteen")
  Tens = Array("Twenty", "Thirty", "Forty", "Fifty", _
               "Sixty", "Seventy", "Eighty", "Ninety")
  DateIn = CDate(DateIn)
  Yrs = CStr(Year(DateIn))
  Decades = Mid$(Yrs, 3)
  If CInt(Decades) < 20 Then
    Decades = Cardinal(CInt(Decades))
  Else
    Decades = Tens(CInt(Left$(Decades, 1)) - 2) & " " & _
              Cardinal(CInt(Right$(Decades, 1)))
  End If
  Hundreds = Mid$(Yrs, 2, 1)
  If CInt(Hundreds) Then
    Hundreds = Cardinal(CInt(Hundreds)) & " Hundred and "
  Else
    Hundreds = ""
  End If
  DateToWords = Ordinal(Day(DateIn) - 1) & " day of " & _
                Format$(DateIn, "mmmm, ") & _
                Cardinal(CInt(Left$(Yrs, 1))) & _
                " Thousand, " & Hundreds & Decades
End Function


If your date is in say, cell A1, place this formula in cell B1 (or wherever you like):
=DateToWords(A1)


Read Rick's post carefully and remember that this is his work solely.

I hope that this helps.

Cheerio,
vcoolio.

Format$(DateIn, "mmmm, ") & _
Cardinal(CInt(Left$(Yrs, 1))) & _
" Thousand, " & Hundreds & Decades
End Function



If your date is in say, cell A1, place this formula in cell B1 (or wherever you like):

=DateToWords(A1)


A1-- 23/09/1995

B1--Twenty third day of September, One Thousand, Nine Hundred and Ninety Five.

I want this type of format.. please help how it work...

A1--22/02/2012
B1--Twenty Two February, Two Thousand Tweleve.

please help Dear users.
