Formula To Converting First Letter To CAPS?
Apr 11, 2014I have a column with names, where i need the 1st letters of the Names to be displayed in CAPS. If its a Single letter also, the same should be displayed in CAPS
View 2 RepliesI have a column with names, where i need the 1st letters of the Names to be displayed in CAPS. If its a Single letter also, the same should be displayed in CAPS
View 2 RepliesI 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?
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.
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.

I, too, am trying to use excel to the fullest. My first issue is, I would like to convert the numberic grade in one cell to a letter grade in another cell. I am not really good with all the vocabulary, but would love to learn it, and can copy a formula pretty well!!!! Not so good with functions and macros but would love to learn. All help appreciated.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a variable, ColumnX. I want to use VBA to generate some formula referencing ColumnX. For example: I want to sum the values in A1 to A10. ColumnX has been set to "1" which is the number of column A.
Range("A11")= "=sum("A1:" & ColumnX & "10)"
Obviously the above code doesn't work because I'm putting a number where VBA expects a letter. How can I rewrite my code so that A11 will entered with formula that sums A1 to A10?
I have 2 cells, one has a first name the other has a last name for instance:
A1 = Joe
B1 = Smith
I am trying to combine the first letter of the name in A1 with the next 3 letters in B1 so that C1 = jsmi
I am trying to make a puzzle and use excel to verify I have done it correctly.
What I want to do is when I type a letter in a specific cell have it put a number value in another cell automatically. For instance, if I type the letter "a" in cell A1 I would like the number 60 to populate automatically in cell B1. I want to give each letter in the alphabet a numeric value so I can type a message in the A column and then auto sum the results of the numbers in the B column.
When I type a single lower case letter into a cell, what formula or conditional formatting should I use to always convert it to a capital letter automatically?
View 9 Replies View RelatedFor the below formula is it possible to replace the B's (column location) with a cell Say Z146 which contains the letter B (or a number if thats easier and someone can tell me the numbers for each column).
When the formula is dragged into the next cell (down) it takes its column reference from Z147 and then my life becomes so much easier.
=IF(INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0))"",INDEX('Overs-Unders'!B:B,MATCH($C145,'Overs-Unders'!$A:$A,0)),"")
I am trying to make a formula which will tell me if A1 is a postcode (a letter and a number e.g CV42 6AQ)
In the A column, it looks like this:
CV42 6AQ
FC45 D4D
West yorkshire
PR42 6RD
Etc.
i want it to identify all the postcodes, and NOT "West Yorkshire" because it does not contain a number.
I was wondering whether it is possible to find a formula in Excel that would extract (using RIGHT formula) surname from Name Surname cell despite surname lenght i.e.:
'John Smith' in one cell would give 'Smith' in the other
'Tom Let' in one cell would give 'Let' in the other
I have tried to combine RIGHT, FIND and PROPER (for upper case) in one formula but it does not work.
how it would be possible to obtain the last two numbers before the letter B, if "Fri Aug 01 16:40:49 BST 2008" is placed in A1 so "49" would be placed in B1,

Example-works:

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 need to change a few hundred cells (one column) where the first letter may be a capital letter to a lowercase letter.
So:
GetAwardfromBid to getAwardFromBid
or

I'm trying to set a data validation in B1 from values in A1:A5.
A1: Car
A2: Papers
A3: Pencil
A4: Pants
A5: Shoes
What I want is show in dropdown list the words in singular (without the "s" at the end).
The formula below works if I introduce it in a normal cell,
[Code]....
or as array formula with CRTL+SHIFT+ENTER in this way
[Code] .....
But I get the message that the formula has error when I introduce any of both in "Validation Criteria"-->Allow "List"-->Source.
Is there a function that will output the column letter? For example there's one I know of: =COLUMN(), which outputs column number, but not the letter. And if not, can a formula be written to output it without converting the spreadsheet to R1C1 style or using the lookup function that refers to a separate table within the spreadsheet?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI just want to show a letter and change it to any letter and show it again in seconds. Can it be done with formula, maybe with RAND formula or any other formula.
for example when i press F9 the letter A change B, and then i press F9, it changed to C, and then when i press F9 and it changed to A again, and i press F9 and it changed to B, and so on...
(Is it possible too..with a little variation if i press F9 continually, it changed every 5 second?)
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.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a column of cells which looks like this:
"JUMPING LAZY brown fox"
I need to put the non capitals in the front as so:
"brown fox JUMPING LAZY"
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?

View 4 Replies View Relatedcreating a formula that would convert a string like 63008 (Mdyy format) to a format that Excel can read as a date
=IF(LEN(I2)=5,DATE(20&RIGHT(I2,2),LEFT(I2,1),MID(I2,2,2)),DATE(20&RIGHT(I2,2),LEFT(I2,2),MID(I2,2,2)))
In other words IF(the length of the cell value is 5, parse the date this way, otherwise parse it another way)
If I2=63008, this would output 6/30/2008
I want to convert this to a function since that formula is rather tedious to type out, but I am new to Excel programming
I have the following letters in cells
D2= A
D3=G
D4 =L
These represent Accomodation,Groceries, and Liquor.
Starting at E12 I want a formula , to drag down the column, which will show either Accomodation, Groceries or Liquor depending on the letter I put in cell D12,
Eventually I will possibly need help to summarise these costs on another sheet with other data such as fuel costs and fuel analysis but this will get me started.
Is there any way to format a cell so that text entered will always display in caps?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn 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.
