» Identifying Numeric Values within a Range Formatted as Text
Problem:

Column A contains both numeric and text values, however, all values are formatted as text.
We want to determine which of the values are actually text (i.e. consist of alphabetic characters) and which are only formatted as text, but are in fact numeric.

Solution:

Use the IF and ISERROR functions as shown in the following formula:
=IF(ISERROR(A2+0),"Text","Number")

Here are a number of links for the code to convert numbers to text

[url]http://www.ozgrid.com/VBA/ValueToWords.htm[/url]

[url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q213360[/url]

[url]http://xcell05.free.fr/english/morefunc/nbtext.htm[/url]

In your particular case you need to separate the whole number from the decimal by firstly using

=ROUNDDOWN(A1,0) in cell B1 and

=RIGHT(A1,2)&"/100" in cell C1, if you use the first link for your code then you could CONCATENATE this onto

=SpellNumber(B1)&" and "&C1
