Change ALL CAPS To Initial Caps Only
Sep 6, 2005
Add a column next to the first name. The in that column use the formula
=Proper(A1), A1 being the cell that contains the first name. Then copy that
cell down. Do the same for Last Names. Then keep the cell values, and delete
the original set.
Should be an easier way I think (selecting the entire column and using
conditional formatting) but MS hasn't seen fit to do this yet.

Does anyone have a way to change columns of text entered in all caps to the initial capital letter and the rest of the text in small letters.
As in: JONES to Jones.

I was handed an Excel Spreadsheet containing a list of names. Within the sheet there are three names (Elizabeth, Amy, and Daniel) that contain upper and lower case letters. The desire is that all names are in CAPS. However, these three names refuse to remain as CAPS when overwritten in the cell. As a note, other names can be typed in those cells and will successfully remain as typed, either U/L case or all CAPS. Another note, if the Replace feature is used, the names remain as Replaced.

I like the proper formula and find it handy, however do you know if there is a formula that would only keep the first letter in the cell at caps and reduce the rest to lower case, ie
A1 = MY DOG IS WHITE
proper(A1) = My Dog Is White
what I want is only first letter caps = My dog is white. I'va had a decent look around but can't find anything that would do this?

It appears that the excel IF statement caps out at eight arguments. Is there a work around for this? I need to enter 29 arguments... Does excel have a CASE or Array function?
Example-works:
=IF((H3="Weight1"),"A",IF((H3="Weight2),"B",IF((H3="Weight3"),"C",IF((H3="Weight4"),"D",IF((H3="Weig ht5"),"E",IF((H3="Weight6),"F",IF((H3="Weight7"),"G",IF((H3="Weight8"),"H",""))))))))
Example-doesn't work:
=IF((H3="Weight1"),"A",IF((H3="Weight2),"B",IF((H3="Weight3"),"C",IF((H3="Weight4"),"D",IF((H3="Weig ht5"),"E",IF((H3="Weight6),"F",IF((H3="Weight7"),"G",IF((H3="Weight8"),"H",IF((H3="Weight9"),"I""")) )))))))

How do you programatically enable the CAPSLOCK key in VBA? I've tried:
Sendkeys "{CAPSLOCK}"
When I run this, Excel's status bar flashes "CAPS" for about 1 second then disappears. It seems to have no impact on the keyboard for case-sensitivity - which is what I'm shooting for.

I have looked in conditional formatting, but do not see a way to change lower case to all caps. Is there a way to do this so that when someone types in a cell it returns all caps instead of leaving it in lower case?

In the attachment 1st tab column Q I want it to show no more than the Location Cap (Column M) UNLESS the Current Hourly Rate (Column L) is higher than the Cap.
If the Current Hourly Rate (Column L) is lower than the cap but with the increase from the 2nd tab (Loc Info) makes it greater than the Location Cap (Column M) then I want it to show Location Cap. There were only a few lines that did not work right and i can't figure out why. I have attached one of the lines that were not working right.
Ultimately I want to do the same from 2015 (Column R) and 2016 (Column S) but referencing the previous year.

I have a few tasks which I have been doing manually because I do not know if there is a way to accomplish these tasks automatically via some excel formulas.
My first task requires me to take an address, for example: 1234 CAMBIE STREET, and format it such that it is properly capitalized (only capital letters in the front of words) like this: 1234 Cambie Street
My second task involves taking an address, for example: 1234 1st Avenue W, and rearranging it such that the direction is in front of the street name like so: 1234 W 1st Avenue. What makes this task potentially even more complicated is that not all the addresses I am working with require the rearrangement, so I can't simply have a formula that puts the last group of characters in front of the first group of characters because that may screw up addresses that don't require this formatting.
My third task demands that 2 columns of names are combined into one column, while also simultaneously placing a "&" between the names. For example: Jonathan Parkinson | Sarah Parkinson turns into Jonathan Parkinson & Sarah Parkinson. Now I do understand how to use a simple combining formula (=a1&" & "&b1) but it isn't that simple. The columns are not all filled with names. Some pairs may have no names, whereas others may have only one name. Because of this, the formula I used as an example will result in many instances where all I see is a "&", and other instances where I see the first name, followed by an unnecessary "&".
So far, for the majority of these problems, I've been using a combination of manual data input, and the replace function, but I really do hope there is a faster and better way to go about these tasks.

I have declared arrays for the variables in the code segment below. There is however a problem with the way I've initialized C and F as I the compiler stops C(1) and displays the message: "Compile Error: Expected Array." For the calculation to proceed correctly, the first values of the C(i) and F(i) arrays need to be one and zero respectively.
Is there a way to initialize these variables to these values?
Art
C(1) = 1
F(1) = 0
G(1) = Y(1)
B(i) = C(i - 1) + Q
C(i) = (1 + B(i) ^ (-1)) ^ (-1)
F(i) = 1 / (1 + B(i))
G(i) = F(i) * G(i - 1) + (1 - F(i)) * Y(i)
arrKAL1(i)= G(i)

When inserting a hyperlink in an Excel cell, the default pathname for the new link is always the current pathname of the workbook. After navigating to a distant pathname and inserting a hyperlink, inserting the next hyperlink in the next cell starts all over again at the current path.
Is there a method of telling Excel to start looking in z:\ABC instead of the current path? This would eliminate navigating through the entire path for each link.
A macro that handles the hyperlink and puts up a navigation window or something like that would be ok.

We currently use Excel to make reports of data obtained in field surveys. General data is repetitive throughout report. We have a title page, general particulars (GP) page, table of contents then data table pages. Each data page has info from general particulars page. i.e project name, date, inspector etc. Right now some cells of data table pagess have formulars pointing to applicble cells on GP page.
Presently I am designing a userform to input title and GP page data. So far OK.
Question: Can I take input on userform and add to footer. Info to be added after or inserted within text already there? i.e. Surveyors Name: ?(left footer) something center and something right. What type of code needs to be added and where do I place it .
