Change To Proper Case In VBA

Aug 10, 2009

I found this bit of Worksheet_Change code to change the target area to UpperCase. This works fine.

If Not Intersect(Target, Columns(2)) Is Nothing Then
Set rng1 = Intersect(Target, Columns(2))
Set rng2 = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, rng1)
For Each cell In rng2
If cell.Formula "" Then
cell.Formula = Format(cell.Formula, ">")
End If
Next cell
End If
I could not find anything telling me what the ">" means. I'm assuming that it is a special symbol/wildcard for UCase in VBA.

My question(s), is there a symbol for ProperCase so I can use the same code, just making it change the Target column to Proper? Also is there a list of the special symbols.

Change Text To Upper, Lower Or Proper Case On Entry

Sep 6, 2007

I would like to format a row of cells so that when a word is entered into the cell it automatically becomes a capital.

I need the word to be capitalized so that I can use it in a custom function. The function uses the word from this cell and goes through a bunch of cases in determing how to classify the string.

I think more than one solution is possible and I would greatly appreciate some feed back, I've tried looking into turning all the letters of a string in my VBA code to capitals, or a way to format the cells, so that the string is already capitalized when entered into the VBA code, but I'm still a novice at VBA and unsure on how certain commands work.

here is a sample of my vba code.

Function WeightI(Shape As String, sDim As String, dLenFt As Double) As Double
Const pi As Double = 3.14159265358979
Const Ft2In As Double = 12
Const dDen As Double = 0.2835 ' density of steel, pounds per cubic inch

Dim aiStr() As String ' dimensions as strings

Automatically Change To Proper Case Once The User Leaves Any Of The Referenced Cells

Nov 6, 2008

In my worksheet there are ranges A3:C37, E3:E37, J3:K37 and P3:P37 that all contain text that I would like to automatically change to proper case once the user leaves any of the referenced cells.

I have tried various codes form this forum and searched for hours on the net for a solution to do this but no matter what I do/try nothing works (for long)

Another forum user did help me out with some code but there was an issue with column C, L & O (which are set as drop down lists) and when the code was put into the workbook these columns stopped working and froze the app.

Proper Case Exemptions

Jun 3, 2006

When I asked this question before, I was looking for a way to automate the exemptions on a UserForm. At that time I realized that automation was not a good choice and went with a CommandButton to turn off the Proper case for that entry. I am now trying to do the same thing on a Worksheet change event using this

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Target.Column < 1 Or Target.Column > 9 Then Exit Sub
On Error Goto Errhndl
Application.EnableEvents = False
If Target.Column = 1 Then Target.Value = Application.Proper(Target.Value)
If Target.Column = 2 Then Target.Value = Application.Proper(Target.Value)
If Target.Column = 3 Then Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value)
If Target.Column = 4 And Target.Value > "" Then Target.Value = UCase(Left(Target.Value, 2)) & "-" & Right(Target.Value, 2)
If Target.Column = 8 Then Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value)
If Target.Column = 9 Then Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value)
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
Errhndl:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

My problem is with Target.Column = 1. I need a way to disable the proper case for a single row. I tried to use an additional column (J) and place a x in that row, but I could not figure out how to detect if there was anything in that column for the target row.

Refine Proper Case Macro

Jan 25, 2007

I am using this macro to ensure that a range of cells appear in Proper Case. However I am encountering a drawback, sometimes I have text which I want in Upper Case but which is changed into Proper Case. I was wondering if there was a way to work around this. Example: Practical W/W appears as W/w or Woodturing (GMC) appears as Woodtrunign(gmc)

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Forces text to Proper case for the range A15:A40
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or Target.HasFormula Then Exit Sub

If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A15:A40")) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target = StrConv(Target, vbProperCase)
Application.EnableEvents = True

Proper Case Text By Condition

Oct 19, 2007

How can I extend proper() to NOT change "PO Box 333" to "Po Box 333". Ideally, I would like to supply a list of words such as PO and all the 2 letter directionals (NE,NW,SE,SW).

There are also cases such as a last name of MacNamara which should have a capital M and N. Even worse, I see that 3rd becomes 3Rd which is very sad.

I'm assuming the data was supplied in uppercase

Prevent Proper Case Of Letters Following A Comma

Mar 17, 2007

When using the PROPER function, it capitalizes the first letter in a text string and any other letters in text that follow any character other than a letter, and converts all other letters to lowercase.

However, if A1 contains the text "2-cent's worth"; then =PROPER(A1) will return the following result: "2-Cent'S Worth".

Is there a way to prevent the PROPER function from capitalizing the first letter following the apostrophe?

Formatting Individual Columns To Proper And Upper Case

Mar 13, 2014

I have a worksheet which is populated from a macro using the following code.

Code:

Sheets("Create Sub Contractor").Range("B6:B65").Copy
With Sheets("Sub Contractor Information").Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
.PasteSpecial (xlValues), Transpose:=True
End With

The problem is that some of what is being copied needs to be Proper and Some Upper, therefore I cant use a paste special option.

What I'd like to be able to do is format the columns in the destination sheet ("Sub Contractor Information") from row 4 down to what ever format they need to be individually as there are some columns that are numbers, some text and numbers........
