Thanks for your quick reply.

However the current code is giving syntax error. Would appreciate greatly if you can give solution. It worked earlier. Not it is showing syntax error when source cell value is above 9 or if it has decimal.

Is is possible to print only rupees even if we have value after decimal points.
for eg value is 100.20 but we only want it to print "Rupee one hundred only". What ever value is there after decimal should be simply ignored

How do I make it show the number from a specific cell? I mean, I want the words to be fetched from, for example cell F28, how do I do that? Right now it seems that the number needs to be entered in the "=ConvertCurrencyToEnglish()" function. Thanks.
