How to Use the BAHTTEXT Function in Excel

Today, we will explore the BAHTTEXT function, a highly useful feature in Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets that translates numbers into their equivalent Thai text representation. This function proves invaluable for rendering numerical values in the Thai language across various documents.

How to Use BAHTTEXT Function in Excel and Google Sheets

The syntax for the BAHTTEXT function is straightforward:

BAHTTEXT(number)

Here, number represents the numerical value you wish to convert into Thai text.

Consider an example where you have a number in cell A1 that you need to convert into Thai. You would use the following formula:

=BAHTTEXT(A1)

Upon entering this formula into a cell, Excel or Google Sheets will display the Thai text equivalent of the number contained in cell A1.

Examples of Using BAHTTEXT Function

The BAHTTEXT function can be particularly useful in several contexts:

  • Printing cheques that require numbers to be written in Thai
  • Compiling financial reports intended for a Thai-speaking audience
  • Generating invoices or receipts in the Thai language

Implementation in Excel and Google Sheets

To illustrate the use of BAHTTEXT in a practical scenario in Excel, assume we are dealing with the following case:

Number Thai Text
100.25 =BAHTTEXT(A2)

In Google Sheets, the procedure is essentially the same. Simply input the formula =BAHTTEXT(A2) in the appropriate cell to convert the number located in cell A2 into its Thai text form.

Note that the BAHTTEXT function is unique to Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets and might not be supported in other spreadsheet applications.
