Convert Currency in Number to Words - MS Access

Submitted by Karthikeyan on

We may require currency in both number & words in MS Access Reports. Here I am giving a easiest way to implement this. This artice is extension of my previous blog post Convert Currency in Number to Words (Indian Rupees)

Note : Screenshots may differ for your Access Version, If you have any queries, comment below. 

1. Go to Database Tools Tab in MS Access, click on Visual Basic 

2. Right click on Modules, select Insert -> Module

3. Copy and paste the VBA code given below. 

 


Function ConvertCurrencyToEnglish(ByVal MyNumber)
' Edited by Karthikeyan [email protected]
  Dim Temp
         Dim Rupees, Paise
         Dim DecimalPlace, Count
 
         ReDim Place(9) As String
         Place(2) = " Thousand "
         Place(3) = " lakh "
         Place(4) = " Crore "
 
 
         ' Convert MyNumber to a string, trimming extra spaces.
         MyNumber = Trim(Str(MyNumber))
 
         ' Find decimal place.
         DecimalPlace = InStr(MyNumber, ".")
 
         ' If we find decimal place...
         If DecimalPlace > 0 Then
            ' Convert Paise
            Temp = Left(Mid(MyNumber, DecimalPlace + 1) & "00", 2)
            ' Hi! Note the above line Mid function it gives right portion
            ' after the decimal point
            'if only . and no numbers such as 789. accures, mid returns nothing
            ' to avoid error we added 00
            ' Left function gives only left portion of the string with specified places here 2
 
 
            Paise = ConvertTens(Temp)

Yes, place Rupees before the expression. ="Rupees " &ConvertCurrencyToEnglish([MyTextBoxName])) & " Only"

Submitted by WhiteLotus1 (not verified) on Feb 22, 2017 - 13:06

Thank you for sharing code.
Is it possible to write Rupees *Before* the currency is converted into words
e.g. Rupees Hundred Only
Currently it shows Hundred Rupees Only

I have added " Only" to the expression builder
i.e. =ConvertCurrencyToEnglish([MyTextBoxName])) & " Only"

The reason for this request is that after money roundoff act, In Invoice or PO grandtotal, amount is always round off. hence conversion of paisa to words is not needed.

Thank you.
