    Re: How to convert vb .text to number format

    The number to be converted to word text can be a numeric value or a string.

    • If the optional formatting keyword is omitted, a number such as 1234 will be returned as "One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty Four".
    • If the word "check" is passed, the number returned will be written as on a check. Hence, 123.45 will report back as "One Hundred Twenty Three and 45/100". If there are more than two decimal places in the "check" mode, the decimal portion will be rounded to the nearest two decimal places.

    Re: How to convert vb .text to number format

    To convert String to Number i will suggest you to use the Val function which will convert a string to a decimal number.If you need a formula to simply change numbers to text, use =concatenate([Cell#]). The Val function is not locale aware, so it will not recognize comma decimal separators in countries where this is used, such as "1,000,000".

    following is the vb code which will allows you to do the conversion.
    Dim v As Integer

    v = Val("100 Blah Blah")

    Print v ' prints 100

    v = Val("Nothing")

    Print v ' Could not convert, prints 0

    Re: How to convert vb .text to number format

    Code:
    found = InStrRev(Text1.Text, Chr(10), pos, 0)
    Text1.text is the string being searched and chr(10) is the string being searched. We take a new variable called pos, which signifies the starting postion for the search in the given string (i.e. text1.text). The SendMessage API function requires the window handle (hWnd& above) of the text box. To get the window handle of the text box, use the hWnd property of the text box. Initially pos is set as the current caret location, which is given by text1.selstart Pos is taken since when we find a new line char, its obvious that we will look for a new line char above of it.
