Syntax
Argument
Description
arg
(Required) - the value that will be transformed into words.
You can input the SPELLNUMS function from the above code directly into a cell, or you can use the setFormula method to apply the formula.
Usage notes
The SPELLNUMS function is very easy to use. It requires a type number argument that represent the value you wish to convert into text.
Note that, when your number has a fractional part it will be rounded up to the nearest integer.
Benefits
There might be various reasons to change digits stored as numbers to text. For example: in the invoice totals or when you have a text paragraph inside your spreadsheet (numbers can disrupt readability so for writing purpose is better to spell the numbers smaller than 100).
This function allows you to convert a given number into words without having to create complicated custom functions and methods.
