Question : Convert rupees in numbers to words

Hi!

I have designed a database in Access2000. In this I have a report which calculates totalAmount at the report footer. I would like to know how to display this amount in words...
e.g suppose the amount is Rs.2,48,705/- I want to state this rupess in words like "Rupees Two Lakhs forty eight thousand seven hundred and five only"
 
Any help...

Thanking you in advance...

Answer : Convert rupees in numbers to words

make a modul and call it NumbersToWords, then paste the following to it and save it:

Option Explicit
 
'****************
' Main Function *
'****************
Function SpellNumber(ByVal MyNumber, Currency1, Currency2)
    Dim Dollars, Cents, Temp
    Dim DecimalPlace, Count, MyNumberChange
 
    ReDim Place(9) As String
    Place(2) = " Thousand "
    Place(3) = " Million "
    Place(4) = " Billion "
    Place(5) = " Trillion "
 
    ' String representation of amount
    MyNumberChange = MyNumber
    MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
 
    ' Position of decimal place 0 if none
    DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
    'Convert cents and set MyNumber to dollar amount
    If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
        Cents = Left(Mid(MyNumberChange, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2) & "/100" 'GetTens(Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2))
        MyNumber = Trim(Left(MyNumber, DecimalPlace - 1))
    End If
 
    Count = 1
    Do While MyNumber <> ""
       Temp = GetHundreds(Right(MyNumber, 3))
       If Temp <> "" Then Dollars = Temp & Place(Count) & Dollars
          If Len(MyNumber) > 3 Then
             MyNumber = Left(MyNumber, Len(MyNumber) - 3)
        Else
            MyNumber = ""
        End If
        Count = Count + 1
    Loop
 
    Select Case Dollars
        Case ""
            Dollars = Currency1 & " : None" '"No Dollars"
        Case "One"
            Dollars = Left(Currency1, Len(Currency1) - 1) & " : One" ' Remove the s at the end '"One Dollar"
        Case Else
            Dollars = Currency1 & " : " & Dollars  '" Dollars"
    End Select
 
    Select Case Cents
        Case ""
            Cents = " and 00/100 ONLY" '" and No Cents"
'        Case "One"
'            Cents = " and One " & Left(Currency2, Len(Currency2) - 1) '" and One Cent"
        Case Else
            Cents = " and " & Cents & " ONLY" '" and " & Cents & " Cents"
    End Select
 
    SpellNumber = Dollars & Cents
End Function

 
'*******************************************

Function GetHundreds(ByVal MyNumber)
    Dim Result As String
 
    If Val(MyNumber) = 0 Then Exit Function
    MyNumber = Right("000" & MyNumber, 3)
 
    'Convert the hundreds place
    If Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1) <> "0" Then
        Result = GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 1, 1)) & " Hundred "
    End If
 
    'Convert the tens and ones place
    If Mid(MyNumber, 2, 1) <> "0" Then
        Result = Result & GetTens(Mid(MyNumber, 2))
    Else
        Result = Result & GetDigit(Mid(MyNumber, 3))
    End If
 
    GetHundreds = Result
End Function

            Case Else
        End Select
      Else                                 ' If value between 20-99
        Select Case Val(Left(TensText, 1))
            Case 2: Result = "Twenty "
            Case 3: Result = "Thirty "
            Case 4: Result = "Forty "

            Case Else
        End Select
         Result = Result & GetDigit _
            (Right(TensText, 1))  'Retrieve ones place
      End If
      GetTens = Result
   End Function
 
'*******************************************
' Converts a number from 1 to 9 into text. *
'*******************************************
Function GetDigit(Digit)
    Select Case Val(Digit)
        Case 1: GetDigit = "One"
        Case 2: GetDigit = "Two"
        Case 3: GetDigit = "Three"
        Case 4: GetDigit = "Four"
        Case 5: GetDigit = "Five"
        Case 6: GetDigit = "Six"
        Case 7: GetDigit = "Seven"
        Case 8: GetDigit = "Eight"
        Case 9: GetDigit = "Nine"
        Case Else: GetDigit = ""
    End Select
End Function

Then in your Report add a text box, where the source is:
SpellNumber(YourAmount, YourCurrency, PartCurrency)

PartCurrency is like Cents, but if you dont have it, put it as ""

I hope this helps
