Below is the existing code that I'm working with and would like to be able to make the ' name' column either Upper or Proper case on entry. I haven't decided which I'm going to use yet.
Set r = Sheet1.Range("A2:C65536")
If Not Intersect(Target, r) Is Nothing Then
sTgt = Trim(Target.Value)
If sTgt = "" Then Exit Sub
Select Case Target.Column
Case NmCol
If InStr(sTgt, ",") = 0 Then
iSpc = InStrRev(sTgt, " ")
Target.Value = Mid(sTgt, iSpc + 1) & ", " & Left(sTgt, iSpc - 1)
End If
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
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........
I have a series of input boxes and in one particular input box ("TypeScore") if the lower case is entered I want to convert it to upper case. Here is a small snippet of the series of input boxes. I have tried just about every suggestion I can find on this forum, but can't get it to work.
Is it possible to make a spreadsheet so that everything that is typed into it is in CAPITALS? I have a need for that for a spreadsheet that I am using at work, but I remembered that in the title box above it only capitlaizes the first letter. I thought if it can do it with the first letter can Excel do it with all of the letters.
if there's any way for vba to detect if each individual character in a string is in caps, and if so, convert to lower case, and if it's in lower case, convert to capitalized
The text will vary in length and content... so he wants to see how we can change: "This Is Strange" to "tHIS iS sTRANGE" "THIS IS STRANGE" to "this is strange" "this is strange" to "THIS IS STRANGE"
I have just recently found that I can do case correction with Excel but I am manually having to do it how can I add it to my macro? The function for doing it does not seem straight forward to me on putting in macro I am sure it is simple but just missing some element of it.
I need to have Proper case for columns C, G and H from rows 11 and down.
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.
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.
In column J of my Excel 2003 worksheet named: Sheet1, is a list of mailing addresses. A copy of the spreadsheet is attached. I need a macro to please capitalise (Upper-case) the second character only of all the Post Office addresses.
Example:
Po Box 65, ORLANDO, NSW 2697
All of my Post Office addresses are prefixed: Po
I need the Post Office addresses to be prefixed: PO
So, the above mentioned example should look like this: PO Box 65, ORLANDO, NSW 2697
For Each cel In Range("E6:AI15").Cells If IsError(cel.Value) Then Else Select Case UCase(cel.Value) Case "H" cel.Font.ColorIndex = 0 cel.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 Case "S" cel.Font.ColorIndex = 0 cel.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
but I want the cells to accept both upper and lower case values and format the cells accordingly ie. H or h, S or s
I have a number of textboxes into which I enter the surname of individuals ... at present the textboxes are set to store all names in Uppercase. Is there coding to return names beginning Mc... or Mac... ie McClOUD or MacDONALD, in the more recognized format. I am sure this has been included in the forum but could not find it in a search of the site.
Is it possible to modify this code to exclude the first sheet in the workbook which is called Costs?
Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range) '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'Forces text to Proper case for the range A14:A39 '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or Target.HasFormula Then Exit Sub
On Error Resume Next If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A14:A39")) Is Nothing Then Application.EnableEvents = False Target = StrConv(Target, vbProperCase) Application.EnableEvents = True End If On Error Goto 0
End Sub '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' 'Forces text to Proper case for the range A14:A39
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
On Error Resume Next If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A15:A40")) Is Nothing Then Application.EnableEvents = False Target = StrConv(Target, vbProperCase) Application.EnableEvents = True End If On Error Goto 0 End Sub
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 have a column containing 8000 records, some of them are in upper case & rest are in proper case, is there any way wherein i can filter all records which are in upper case without using macros, i mean is it possible to do it using ISNA function ?
=upper("venkat") returns VENKAT =upper(a1) returns the text in A1 in upper case
similary lower proper will turn the first letter into uppercase
is this what you want;.
