Challenge #234: Spell It Out For Me - Part 1

This will work for any set of numbers that has no more than 2 d.p and is no more that 999999999.99. I could have made it more adaptable but I thought that would be overkill for currency.

Now off to browse everyone elses solutions to see if there was some two tool solution which I skipped... Is there an issue with some versions processing fixed decimal types? I know there was a question on the forum a few weeks back from a user who couldn't get two decimal places automatically using a fixed decimal with a detail of 2.  My version of Designer seems to have the same issue so I had to manually add the extra zero where applicable.

I struggle to find a use-case where needing to do this would actually be beneficial.  However, good use of the "Padleft" function.
