Monto is amount, sufijo is suffix.

Why are you so bothered?.

This is a modification of a CF to calculate text in spanish so it is meant for spanish readers.

If you don't like spanish you can substitute the parameters for greek words and it will work anyway.

When you use this CF the parameters are the values you put into the function to get a result.

For example:

Monto = 123.45
Currency = "USD"
Sufijo = " - Thanks for your purchase."

The result is:

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY THREE 45/100 USD - THANKS FOR YOUR PURCHASE.

Of course, all of this in portuguese. I used english so you could understand the principle.

Now, if you want to change the word "Monto" for "Amount" or "Ποσό" you have to go all the way through the function and replace the word "Monto". The same for the rest of the parameters.

The result will be the same.

Please let me know if this solves your problem. Yo can write directly to my inbox: ibrahim_bittar@eikonsys.com

Hi Panos

Yes, both mean "hundred". This is because in spanish and portuguese the number 100 is named "cien" or "cen" in portuguese and any other number but 100 is named "ciento" or "cento" in portuguese.

For example: 123 is named "ciento veintitres" and in portuguese is named "cento e vinte e três".

In spanish, for the 20's there is a contraction and instead of naming 23 as veinte y tres is named veintitres.

Please send me your finished calculation. I'm working in a multi language version of my ERP and though greek was not one of my first choices after spanish is always good to have some of the hard work already solved.

Regards.

By the way, numbers 11 to 20 are "repeated" because they have special names in spanish and portuguese. It's like eleven for 11, instead of ten and one...

Hi,
You predicted for negative numbers ?
when appears a negative result?

Not really. Is very unlikely that you want to express a negative number in text.

Anyway, what you can do is to check if the amount < 0 and add a "-" sign or the word "minus" before the final calculation.

Shouldn't be a problem.

Regards.
