Is it possible in Excel to capitalize just the first letter of sentence?
Something from this:
"Capital first letter only. After Period Should be capitalized only The First Letter"
to this:
"Capital first letter only. After period should be capitalized only the first letter"
I need to capitalize only the very first word of each sentence in a paragraph.
How can I do this?
i found this VBA but i need it to change it for more columns not just column 3 ("C") i also need D F G J T W. how can this formula be modified?

I'd like cell A1 & B1 to capitalize the the first and last name.
I have a routine where I and others enter employee names. It takes whatever case is inputted, and formats it to Capitialize the first name, Middle Initital, and Lastname. However, my routine is flawed slightly and I was wondering if there was a way to fix it.
The flaw is in the names such as McSomething, or MacDonald, McMasters.. the routine will Capitalize the first and last names, put a comma and even put a period if there is a middle initial (or not if there is no middle initial), but I can't figure out how to identify if its a Mc or a Mac or any other of those surnames. The routine will force it to Mcsomething or Macdonald ... so.. any ideas ?? It won't capitalize (in this case) the S in Mcsomething.
Public Sub StandardizeName()
Dim FN, MI, NOFI, NOLI, FirstName, LastName, First, Middle, Lastn As String
'Standardizes all name inputs - due to user input error
FN = TextBox3.Value
Lastn = TextBox1.Value
MI = TextBox4.Value
I have a large spreadsheet with names (i.e. Smith, John) and would like to capitalize and bold the first word of a range of cells (i.e. SMITH, John). Been searching for hours and all that I can find has to do with capitalizing the first letter, not the first word.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like a user to be able to enter text into a cell in any case and have it be displayed in all capital letters (or as a "Proper" capitalization). Seems strange that >FORMAT doesn't seem to have a "case" selection.
Past threads show VB code to do this, but I don't want the user to have to click a button to change case. Could the VB code run automatically after the user hits >enter, or tab, or an ->? Is there a way to >FORMAT a cell to do this change? I know the "Upper" & "Proper" functions but it would be very clumsy to have the user enter data in cell A1 just to be displayed in capitals in cell A2.
Example: When user types "lax" in cell A1, I would like "LAX" to be displayed in cell A1.
When I type a single lower case letter into a cell, what formula or conditional formatting should I use to always convert it to a capital letter automatically?
View 9 Replies View RelatedFor the below formula is it possible to replace the B's (column location) with a cell Say Z146 which contains the letter B (or a number if thats easier and someone can tell me the numbers for each column).
When the formula is dragged into the next cell (down) it takes its column reference from Z147 and then my life becomes so much easier.
=IF(INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0))"",INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0)),"")
I need to change a few hundred cells (one column) where the first letter may be a capital letter to a lowercase letter.
So:
GetAwardfromBid to getAwardFromBid
or
SmallLertter to smallLetter
Is there a way to get Excel to automatically change the first letter into an uppercase when we start a new sentence just like MS Word ?

I want to apply Data Validation to a cell, so that only the following combination of letters and numbers can be entered.

I was having trouble on getting a text string within a sentence..

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to format a number within a sentence? i.e.
In cell A1 I have 2,000 entered and formatted as a number. In cell A2 I type in ="How can I format "&A1&" ?"
When I do this, the result in A2 is How can I format 2000?
Is there a way to format the 2000 to show the thousand separator comma? If the number were -2,000 instead, is there a way to show both the comma and parentheses around the number? (without putting the parentheses manually into the formula)?
looking for an equation or macro that can extract numbers out of a sentence.
Eg, 'There were 300 children in a school, and 10 classes of children' I need to extrcat the 300 and the 10 into 2 cells.
There may be more than 2 numbers in longer sentences. Is there anyway to do this?
i really don't know what would be the title, so just hoping that's good for you guys. by the way i need some tricky formula. i have a sentence like this:
Black shoes $250.00, Plasma TV $1,000.00, date to be paid 11/29/09, remaining amount $10,000.00, Computer package $16,000.00.
i want this to be (in different cell):
Black shoes $250.00
Plasma TV $1,000.00
date to be paid 11/29/09
remaining amount and so on...
I did text to columns, but the problem is the amount that has "," really bothers me. can someone give me some tips to do this?
I use the following code. I want to make Replace only in the case which there is a whole word in a part of a cell, but not in part of specific characters.
Example: In the code i want to replace the word "to" but replaces all the words that contains "to". For example in the word together lets only the characters gether, and in the word tonight lets only the characters night etc.

I'm running 2007, and have a mailing list that is setup - A1 = text(full name of company), A2 = text(full street address, city, state, zip) NO PUNCTUATION.
I have been able to separate each word for the address line, but this leaves me with many different length addresses spread out over different cells, so taking just the city state and zip is not feasible in large numbers. I have over 10,000 of these listed down column A1.
I need to be able to extract city, state, and zip, (There is no punctuation in the address line)and put them all in one cell, for the third line of the address box. I need them to cut from the source, also - leaving the source only the street address.
=IFERROR(SEARCH("[",string,1),MID(string position,start of char,length of char))
Hi I wish to pull out the characters from a sentence. Once it detects the "[" from the sentence it should pull the string that follow limiting to the length of the character.
It looks like I did something wrong and the results shows only the position of "[" only.
I want to error check because it to return nuthing if there's no value. IF statement would process errors in this case.
I know the PROPER function will convert all text to capitalise each word, is there a formula that can convert only the first letter to caps and the rest to lower case?

I play an online browser game and I've made a spreadsheet for tracking various aspects of the game.
I do okay with the simple formulas and can haphazardly get excel to do what I want it to do. But for a few things I want it to do, I've run into a wall...
Here is the first one:
In the game, I receive reports like this:
One of your fleets (Large Cargo:5 ) returns from [2:100:9] to Planet [2:101:13] . The fleet is delivering 58.679 Metal, 28.750 Crystal and 11.521 Deuterium.
I want to be able to copy that, and past it into A1. Easy enough, but here's the tricky part. I want excel to be able to automatically extract the numbers in front of metal, crystal, and deuterium into their own separate fieilds. So that in this instance B1 would display 58,670, C1 would display 28,750, and D1 would display 11,521.
The amounts can vary anywhere from 1 to 9,999,999 (but there will be no negative numbers), and in some cases the number would end in 0 (I've seen where that makes a difference in some formulas for some reason).
If it makes it easier, the copy/paste could be reduced to:
The fleet is delivering 58.679 Metal, 28.750 Crystal and 11.521 Deuterium.
I have 1 big sentance in cell A1 which contain one unique word starting with IE0025 or IE0027. I wanted to extract that word from entire sentance and this data is till 1000 rows. Not necessary that it will be in a constant position because always it get change to some other position within sentance.
