Sentence Case FORMULA?
Mar 12, 2009I know the PROPER function will convert all text to capitalise each word, is there a formula that can convert only the first letter to caps and the rest to lower case?

How do I enforce for ranges A1:A10 and C1:C10 that whatever is entered in these cells is changed to sentence case, i.e. "today it is Raining." will change to "Today it is raining.".
I thought of having helper columns with the following formula that would then paste over the ranges on a Workbook.close event but it seems long-winded and not the right way of doing it.

I want to force a UserForm TextBox to format the text typed in to have the first letter of each sentence capitalized and all other letters to be lower case when I exit the TextBox.
TextBox1.Text = Application.AutoCorrect.CorrectSentenceCap = True
But when I used it with the TextBox Exit event, it deleted the text I had typed in and replaces it with the word "True".
Is there any other way to format text to capitalize only the first letter of each sentence?
Just realized that I might not need the "TextBox.Text =" so I removed it. The text was not deleted, but it was not capitalized either.
Some handy code that I can put in a VBA module that will convert all text within a Spreadsheet to Proper or Sentence like this ---> Hello Everyone, Hope You Are All Happy.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been using an IF,ISNA,VLOOKUP formula as follows which I am sure you are all familiar with :
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(K7,Orig!A7:B35,COLUMNS(B7:B35)+1,0)),"",VLOOKUP(K7,Orig!A7:B35,COLUMNS(B7:B35)+1,0))
This formula works correctly, displaying the lookup value for K7. My query is between the"" I can place text to display when K7 is blank and this works correctly too. However I would like to place a formula in here. The formula is VLOOKUP(I7,Orig!A7:B35,COLUMNS(B7:B35)+1,0 i.e. the lookup value is now I7 and not K7 when K7 is blank.
I have tried the following and variations based on what I know but they return errors.
=IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(K7,Orig!A7:B35,COLUMNS(B7:B35)+1,0)),(""& VLOOKUP(K7,Orig!A7:B35,COLUMNS(B7:B35)+1,0),VLOOKUP(K7,Orig!A7:B35,COLUMNS(B7:B35)+1,0))
Any better way of using I7 as the lookup value when K7 is blank.
I have a string of names that run together without spaces or commas between each name.
"Danny TrejoJean Claude van DammeVincent SchiavelliGabrielle FitzpatrickDavid 'Shark' FralickPat Morita" for example.
Is there a way to add a comma and space between a lower case and upper case letter?
is there a way to change the case of a cell/column without having to use a formula, i.e. just like you would in Word?
The formula seems to be a huge pain and I have to do lots of quick case changes in a large document.
What I'm trying to do is use SELECT CASE to do conditional formatting on a range of cells that I've named "ContactDate" (this range covers cells J3 to J42). I need to loop through the ContactDate range and test the current cell (which is in date format) against the cell in the adjacent column to the left (which is also in date format). The cell and font colours are to change based on the number of days difference. Below is the VBA code that I'm using. When I run it, it doesn't do anything to the cells. When I step through the code, however, and test it using the Immediate window it appears to work.
Sub ConditionalFormat()
Dim CurrentCell As Range
For Each CurrentCell In Range("ContactDate")
Select Case CurrentCell
Case CurrentCell - CurrentCell.Offset(0, -1) <= 1
CurrentCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3 ' Changes background to red
CurrentCell.Font.ColorIndex = 2 'Changes font to white
Case CurrentCell - CurrentCell.Offset(0, -1) = 2
CurrentCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 5 'Changes background to blue
CurrentCell.Font.ColorIndex = 2 'Changes font to white
Case CurrentCell - CurrentCell.Offset(0, -1) = 3
CurrentCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 16 'Changes background to grey
CurrentCell.Font.ColorIndex = 2 'Changes font to white
Case CurrentCell - CurrentCell.Offset(0, -1) >= 4
CurrentCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 10 'Changes background to forest green
CurrentCell.Font.ColorIndex = 2 'Changes font to white
Case Else
CurrentCell.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone 'Changes background to none
CurrentCell.Font.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic 'Changes font to automatic
End Select
Next CurrentCell
End Sub
I've got a pretty intense macro already written, a lot of Select Case components. At the end, if nothing matches I'd like to just copy the cell above to the cell below. However, there is a range of about 400 cells in length, so I'd need some sort of wildcard for range.
Rows("2:2").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown, CopyOrigin:=xlFormatFromLeftOrAbove
Dim Cell As Variant
For Each Cell In Range("A1:OL1")
Select Case Cell.Value
Case "Eng1"
Cell.Offset(1, 0).Value = "Engine One"
tons more in the middle here
Case Else
Cell.Offset(1, 0).Value = "N/A"
Rather then returning "N/A", how could I reference the cell above and just copy it instead?
I have my test cases in below format and I would like to calculate # of test cases passed or failed using formula.
-------------------------------------------------
Test case #Step #Result
-------------------------------------------------
Test case 1Step 1pass
Test case 1Step 2pass
Test case 1Step 3fail
Test case 2Step 1pass
Test case 2Step 2pass
Test case 2Step 3pass
Test case 2Step 4pass
Test case 3Step 1fail
Test case 3Step 2fail
I need below result using formula:
# of test cases - Pass = 1
# of test cases - Fail = 2
I decided to try to change it into a Case Statement. Here is what I have now. But the problem seems to be this time at this line: When I have "01" in C5 the script just keeps going?

that will obviously change whatever is in a1 to Upper Case - but it will put it in the cell that holds the formula.

i really don't know what would be the title, so just hoping that's good for you guys. by the way i need some tricky formula. i have a sentence like this:
Black shoes $250.00, Plasma TV $1,000.00, date to be paid 11/29/09, remaining amount $10,000.00, Computer package $16,000.00.
i want this to be (in different cell):
Black shoes $250.00
Plasma TV $1,000.00
date to be paid 11/29/09
remaining amount and so on...
I did text to columns, but the problem is the amount that has "," really bothers me. can someone give me some tips to do this?
I use the following code. I want to make Replace only in the case which there is a whole word in a part of a cell, but not in part of specific characters.

I'm running 2007, and have a mailing list that is setup - A1 = text(full name of company), A2 = text(full street address, city, state, zip) NO PUNCTUATION.
I have been able to separate each word for the address line, but this leaves me with many different length addresses spread out over different cells, so taking just the city state and zip is not feasible in large numbers. I have over 10,000 of these listed down column A1.
I need to be able to extract city, state, and zip, (There is no punctuation in the address line)and put them all in one cell, for the third line of the address box. I need them to cut from the source, also - leaving the source only the street address.
=IFERROR(SEARCH("[",string,1),MID(string position,start of char,length of char))
Hi I wish to pull out the characters from a sentence. Once it detects the "[" from the sentence it should pull the string that follow limiting to the length of the character.
It looks like I did something wrong and the results shows only the position of "[" only.
I want to error check because it to return nuthing if there's no value. IF statement would process errors in this case.
