Hello! I ran into a new problem in Excel. I want to convert alphanumeric values into all text using VBA. I don't know the first thing about writing VBA but of course Microsoft offered some VBA (that doesn't even work on numeric strings). I found someone had posted VBA* that works but only for all-numeric strings. Can it be modified to work on alphanumeric?

Here is what I found to work:

VBA Code:

Place(4) = " Billion "
Place(5) = " Trillion "
numIn = Trim(Str(numIn)) 'String representation of amount
' Edit 2.(0)/Internationalisation
' Don't change point sign here as the above assignment preserves the point!
DecPlace = InStr(numIn, ".") 'Pos of dec place 0 if none
If DecPlace > 0 Then 'Convert Right & set numIn
RSide = GetTens(Left(Mid(numIn, DecPlace + 1) & "00", 2))
numIn = Trim(Left(numIn, DecPlace - 1))
End If
