Hi all, I had posted in the 7.2 category, but i think this is more to do with my lack of Razor knowledge. Im playing around with the 7.2 grid layout and was wanting to change the numeric grid value to a word value. Niels kindly pointed me in the direction of function that did this, but being a designer type, its a bit beyond me.

I have the function NumberWords, but im having trouble passing the area.grid value through it. I can use a numerical value within the helper below "@NumberWords(4)", but im stumped on how to pass the "@area.grid" value in its place.

Any help would be grateful.
