You can also use these functions to refer to other cells in the workbook. For example, if the number 32.50 was in A1, you could type the following into a cell
=SpellNumber(A1)
The Function Wizard can also be used to enter a custom function in a worksheet. To use the Function Wizard, follow these steps
1. Click the Function Wizard button, and select User Defined under Function Category.
2. Select SpellNumber, and enter your number or cell reference.
3. Click Finish
To Create the Sample Functions
1. Insert a module sheet into a workbook. To do this in Microsoft Excel 97 or Microsoft Excel 98, point to Macro on the Tools menu, and then click Visual Basic Editor. In the Visual Basic Editor, click Module on the Insert menu. In Microsoft Excel 5.0 or 7.0, point to Macro on the Insert menu and click Module.
2. Type the following code into the module sheet.
Option Explicit
