View 2 RepliesTo ensure correct data entry, I need to ensure that the filled cells in a column are always in Uppercase for example, irrespective of whether they are typed in upper or lower case.
I have found the following code, which seems to work quite well, even though I have the impression that it slowed my workbook down slightly.
I need to ensure that all text entered into columns G,J,K and L of a specific spreadsheet are all UPPER CASE.
Someone pointed me to this link VBA TO CONVERT TEXT TO UPPERCASE which does it for the full sheet but I need column specific. I am using Excel 2010
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 ?

While using the userform, for example "name" is entered in the form.

I am trying to change string values of a name from uppercase to lowercase. The data is layed out as lastname then first name. As an example, I have the following values in column C:
ANDERSON MICHAEL
SMITH SUSAN P

I am looking for a formula that would extract uppercase words from a cell. I have cells containing this kind of sentences:
"FROZEN PRODUCTS;Frozen avocado;FROZEN FISH;SweeT things;"
so I started with this Macro to extract uppercases and punctuation:
Public Function majuscules(zone)
Dim sel As Object
Dim i As Integer
Application.Volatile
For Each sel In zone
[Code] ........
It works pretty well but gives all the uppercases, and what I want is only those of words fully in upper.
Is there a way to tweak this formula so it gives all the uppers that touch another upper.
In the example case, it should return:
"FROZEN PRODUCTS; ;FROZEN FISH; "
The little cherry on the cake would be if it could give me:
"FROZEN PRODUCTS; FROZEN FISH"
I am using the code below to convert all input on the spreadsheet to UPPERCASE. This was working fine until I added a Column that contains dates (Column D is formatted like 03/Mar/2009). So when I type in 03-03 in column D I get: 03/Mar/2009 instead of 03/MAR/2009
Can the code be tweaked to accommodate the dates?
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Converts ALL input to UPPERCASE
Dim cel As Range
Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error Resume Next
For Each cel In Intersect(Target, Target.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues))
cel.Value2 = UCase(cel.Value2)
Next cel
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
i have a form that i have 2 fields that need to be capatalized at all times - B6 and G6 I have used this formula to get B6 to work but for the life of me i cant get BOTH to work and the same time.
here is the formula
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Set Target = Range("B6") 'change to your range
If Not IsEmpty(Target) Then
Target = UCase(Target.Text)
End If
End Sub
This is wrekcing my head as I'm sure it can be done with an Array formula and I cant seem to get it sorted -
Say I have 5 Rows of text starting in A2
"A quick word"
"A quick WORD"
"A"
"word"
"WORD"
I need an excel formula to say "False", "False", "False", "False", "TRUE".
All conditions to be met for TRUE are - Word must in uppercase, Uppercase Word must be longer than 1 character, Sentence (i.e. cell) can not contain a space. This is the path I've gone down, but almost certainly incorrect -
=IF( FIND(CHAR(64+COLUMN($A$1:$Z1)),$A$2,1),TRUE,FALSE)
[CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER]
I am trying to make a column of names appear in upper case (the first letter). I know about Upper(). I cant put that formula in this column because the names are typed there, (it would erase formula). How can I do this as well as have them alphabetically ordered?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI import a CSV file into Excel where the column title row has column titles that are just one long text string, without any spacing between the words. For example:
CompanySiteDescription
CompanySiteExternalSystemID
IssueNumber
I would like a method (formula or macro) that would add a space-character before each uppercase letter (that's not the first letter in the string or an uppercase letter that directly follows another upper case letter). Thus:
CompanySiteDescription becomes Company Site Description
CompanySiteExternalSystemID becomes Company Site External System ID
IssueNumber becomes Issue Number
Formula that will convert uppercase words longer than three letters, into lowercase. Leaving the rest of the string unchanged?
For example,
Mary and John at IBM thought this was a GREAT OPPORTUNITY. Becomes:
Mary and John at IBM thought this was a great opportunity.
I have also tried using more func's REGEX.SUBSTITUTE but I couldn't get that to work either!
I was using this code in a sheet that contained combo boxes and it worked great. When I redone the sheet a used data validation instead of CB it wold error out.
Code:
Sub savee()
Range("A4:J22").Select
For Each Cell In Selection
If Not Cell.HasFormula Then
Cell.Value = UCase(Cell.Value)
End If
Next Cell
Range("h4").Select
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub
Is there Code for forcing all text in a certain range to Uppercase?
Example: A1:E20
if possible I need the code to be just inserted into the sheet code. Maybe were when the user moves to another cell it changes them then.
I would like a data validation list to only accept an uppercase Y or N from the dropdown in a cell, but users can type a lowercase Ys and Ns and they are accepted. I would like the cell to only accept the uppercase Ys and Ns from the dropdown. Does this require code or is there a simpler way?

A co-worker of mine is exporting files from Quickpen as excel files, but every time he names the files with any Uppercase letters in the files name, they are automatically changing to all lower case. Even when he tries to rename the files, they will not stay with any uppercase letters....I have searched all over and cannot find a solution. If he sends ME the file, I can open it in excel and save it with any cases.

For instance, if the letter "F" is entered into a cell, I want the comment box is pop up, is this possible?

My spreadsheet is very large & takes sometimes 5 to 10 seconds to recalculate. The problem is that is was wanting to recalc every time I edited a cell, which I do constantly all day long. Due to this, I have turned off automatic recalculation. Is there is a way I can use VBA to force just one cell or just one row to recalculate? Keep in mind that currently no cells recalculate until I hit F9 or go in & manually hit Calculate Sheet in tools > options > calculation.
