The SUMINWORDS() function is designed to convert a number or amount written in digits into text.
Quite often, for accounting purposes, the value of a trade transaction needs to be written out in words. For example, the amount 10 568,23 should be displayed in words as "Десять тисяч п'ятсот шістдесят вісім гривень 23 копійки", meaning the amount in words in Ukrainian is needed, but in Excel (LibreOffice Calc) there is no standard function for such purposes.
