Apr 20, 2009Does 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.

Change ALL CAPS To Initial Caps Only
Sep 6, 2005Add 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.

How To Format All Caps Text Into Properly Capitalized Text
Aug 8, 2014I 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.
Caps To First Letter Cap..
Mar 30, 2009I 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?

Dec 22, 2008It 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?

Caps Lock In VBA
Nov 1, 2002How do you programatically enable the CAPSLOCK key in VBA? I've tried:

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.
Three Little Words Won't Change To All CAPS
Feb 27, 2008I 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.

Mar 1, 2014In 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.

May 28, 2012i have a spreadsheet that has 3 shifts. its a weekly data sheet. i have 52 sheets for every week of the year. so far i have a "data" sheet aswell. this is the first sheet. I use this data sheet to generate the information or the other 52 sheets. example is you enter the date of the first monday of the year and it generates the dates on all of my sheets for the whole year. i would like to do something similar for the shifts. i would like to have a cell the enter the shift of the first supervisor on that first monday and have all the shifts generate. 1=nights,2=days,3=afternoons. but i do not want the number to appear i would like the word. the set up goes like this:
DATA E9 = the first number for shift to generate all other numbers
A5 = cell to display first shift
A22= cell for the next shift
A39= cell for last shift
on sheet1 i have A5 as =sum(DATA!E9)
i would like A22 to be the shift after example if A5 as 2 for days than A22 would be 3 for afternoons and A39 would be 1 for nights.
preferably displayed as DAYS/AFTERNOONS/NIGHTS
Changing Text Format
Sep 18, 2007Currently we do a lot of report crunching using Crystal Reports. We will then dump the data into an Excel sheet to run varying pivot tables or databases off of.
Often we will have a field that the formatting will not match up to anything in Excel. You can change the cell to Text, General etc. The main problem associated with this is running VLOOKUPs. The item we type in will not match up to the data imported from Crystal. We have to F2, the new data before it will match up which is a pain considering there can be anywhere from 30-1000 rows.
I'm trying to solve this problem in 2 ways. First can anyone tell me an easier way to do handle this?
Second, after trying many other things I thought about a macro that would automate the F2 process.
