Formula to convert Numeric Value to Word of Number
I'm writing a formula to convert a Number Field into a Word.
Basically where 1,234,567 would equal "One Million Two Hundred Thirty Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Seven"
But I'm running into the compiled size of the formula error.
Now I've come up with a formula that only works for numbers between 100,000 and 999,999 (which should be fine for about 95% of cases I would be using it), but I'm interested in seeing if anyone has been able to do this in the 5,000 character limit before.

Hi Dave,
Writing this kind of formula on formula editor is bound to hit limits. If you want to stick to formula then you can set a Upper value for the numeric value using a validation rule.
Otherwise I suggest you write an apex logic for this.
You can refer this link for writing the apex logic: http://salesforcewithkiran.blogspot.in/2013/05/number-to-words-in-apex.html
Thanks!

Thanks for the reference. Would this be something that had to be written in a sandbox and tested?
I ended up using a workaround where I have formula fields for each 3 digit section and then a workflow rule updates another field by putting them together, since I'm pretty much only dealing with 6 digit numbers.
Yes you are correct. You will have to write a test class for your apex logic with a code coverage above 75%. And then you will have to push it to your production.
