That was a really interesting challenge!  Makes you wonder why english is such a weird language.

Quite tricky challenge, instead of parsing by columns, I went for create lookup table for 1-999 then parse the number into million, thousand and reminder.

I don't want to hard code with respect to column positions, as if there is one billion, then one column will be added to the front which will mess up all the following formulas, though reverse column order then code with respect to position will be more robust.

I'm not ashamed that this beautiful masterpiece came out of my hands.
Ok, maybe a little bit - but it works, and that's what matters!
