NumberToWords PowerQuery-method

The document describes the conversion of large numbers into text in 3 parts: 1) Formatting numbers with commas and up to the hundred trillion place as text to avoid decimal overflow issues. 2) Creating a custom function to convert 3-digit numbers to words to describe figures. 3) Combining the number formatting and word conversion into a custom function that optionally handles the currency and fractional amount. The process allows large numbers to be converted and described accurately as text.

The conversion to Power Query is done by:
Kunle SOPEJU
Many thanks for letting us get creative with Power
Query!
Here's a short explanation of the steps involved:

The conversion falls into three parts.


Part 1 – Formatting the initial Number
Format the numbers into Hundred Trillion digits in MS Excel as Text. (000 000 000 000 000.00 )
This is easily achievable using TEXT() function without the attendant decimal overflow obtainable if it is executed directly
For example, 7,011,101,207,210.89 became 7,011,101,207,210.8896 when converted to text in Power Query. (Note: the
 
Part 2 – Conversion of any three (3) digits number into words
This is probably the kernel of the conversion process.
The heavy – lifting ! This is where the Hundred, Ten and Units are obtained.
This was converted into a custom function and called several times. For example, to obtain figures like:
Two Hundred and Nineteen Thousand
Five Hundred and One Million
Seven Hundred Billion, etc.
 
Part 3 – Combine and Transform
Combine and Transform Parts 1 & 2. Showing how it works on step – by – step basis.
Convert it into a custom function with the optional inputs of the currency (e.g. US DOLLAR) and fraction of the currency (

ainable if it is executed directly in Power Query.
