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
macro that will change the case of a string of texts to proper except for prepositions (e.g. and, or, about, the, etc.).

View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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
Sub Addy()
Do Until ActiveCell. Offset(0, -4) = ""
Renamer = Proper(ActiveCell)
ActiveCell = Renamer
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub
fail? Trying to remove all capitals from names/addresses. Error message is "compile error - sub or function not defined"
I've had good success with the following line of code
Code:
Sheets("Test").Range("A2") = UCase(Sheets("Test").Range("A1"))
But how do I do the same, converting the to Proper Case?
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.
how can i change the text put into an input box into proper case regardless of what my user puts in?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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

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.
I have been using following code to extract all upper case words in a string but the problem is I can not extract words which are proper. For example

I have an Excel 2003 worksheet with all the data in it in Upper-case.
I found this VBA code which works if you change a cell.
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.

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.

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?
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)

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........
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.

I have a userform with text boxes that the user inputs Surname & Initial into. The VBA code then copies that information onto a worksheet. Is there anyway to include into the code, that would change the case of the inputted text to "Proper" before entering it onto the sheet?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like a user to be able to enter text into a cell in any case and have it be displayed in all capital letters (or as a "Proper" capitalization). Seems strange that >FORMAT doesn't seem to have a "case" selection.
Past threads show VB code to do this, but I don't want the user to have to click a button to change case. Could the VB code run automatically after the user hits >enter, or tab, or an ->? Is there a way to >FORMAT a cell to do this change? I know the "Upper" & "Proper" functions but it would be very clumsy to have the user enter data in cell A1 just to be displayed in capitals in cell A2.
Example: When user types "lax" in cell A1, I would like "LAX" to be displayed in cell A1.
I'm trying to formulate:
If it's mixed case, copy it. If it's all lower case or ALL CAPS, then make it PROPER.
i.e., if 'bananas' is in A1 and B2 says =PROPER(A2), then B2 says Bananas, because PROPER capitalises the first letter of each word.

How can I do this without retyping .
