Hello all :D

I need to convert an amount in euros, that is written numerically, into french text, in an googlesheet. 

I know there is a formula (=NUMBERTEXT;lang) that allows me to do it with googlesheet, but I cannot find the way to make it wrk with Zap, for Zap to automatically make the move. 

Can you help me, please ? 
Many thanks 
 

I also found this formula for Zap, that could hep : 
 

VALUE(text): Returns the text converted to a numeric value

> What I would need is, in fact, the opposite of that formula = to convert a numeric value to a text 


Hi @clem, welcome to the Community! 👋

It’s possible to use formulas directly in a Google Sheets action, for example:

It seems the NUMBERTEXT formula is available through installing an add-on for Google Sheets. I’ve not got that add-on installed but if you have then I’d have thought that you could just use that NUMBERTEXT formula directly in the Google Sheets action and the add-on should handle the rest.

Want to give that a try and see if that approach does the trick?

If not, you may need to look at using a Code by Zapier action to handle the conversion. It’s a bit advanced but we have an AI feature that can help to generate the code for you. See our Generate a Code step using AI (Beta) guide for more details.


Hi @clemCode step is an option if you know JavaScript or Python.


@clem, Another option is to use Tuulio.

It has a ready-to-use action that turns a number into text.

Number: 212.0 → Text: two hundred and twelve euro, zero cents

It takes no more than 3 minutes to set it up.

Feel free to reach out in case you need assistance.

@clem Is this what you need? It's also supporting French. ^^


Thank you @Iliyan Slavov but I was searching for a free solution, not one at 20USD/year. I already have to pay for Zap, I would prefer to not multiply the cost. 
Many thanks anyway !
