A practical example
Keep an invoice total and its wording together
For a one-off invoice, convert the final total and paste the words as text. When the total changes often, use the GBP worksheet and link its input to your invoice total in the same file.
Both guides include a worked example using an Invoice tab. The numeric total remains the source of truth; check the worksheet’s status before displaying its wording.
