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.
Formula for helper columns:
[Code] ......
Sub Addy()
Do Until ActiveCell. Offset(0, -4) = ""
Renamer = Proper(ActiveCell)
ActiveCell = Renamer
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop
End Sub

I 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?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm creating an InputBox that pulls from various cells in my worksheet to create a sentence as the default value in the text-space. For example:
A1 = Policy Number
B1 = Credit Amount (i.e. $10)
C1 = $ Info [i.e. if credit is for one month (1 x 10), if two months (2 x 10)]
D1 = Date Policy Ended
E1 = Months Excluded from Bills
Thus, the sentence that the InputBox would display would be:
Today's Date + A1 + B1 + C1 + D1 + E1
Date - Policy # - Credit Amount - Info - Date Ended - Months Excluded
A text example would be:
30JUL2009 - 1234 - $10 - 1x10 - 01JUN2009 - Exc Jul,Aug09
The issue I'm having is how to have the InputBox macro ignore one of the cells if it's empty. My current code is:
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?
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?
Only have upper case letters.
I am trying to get certain cells to only have upper case letters.
each cell in the code will have a single letter typed in.
I would rather have it as an event code (change while it is typed), but I have not grasped the whole thing yet.
This code does not give me any errors, but it is not changing the lower case letters into upper case letters either.

I know in word that you can format a table cell so that the text is in Title Case, ie. the first letter of every word is capitilised. What i am trying to do though is capitalise the first letter of every word and have the rest in lower case, except the last line in a cell.
I am doing this for names and addresses, but the data we will be copying is all in capitals.
I need to make this look a little better for doing a mailshot, but we don't want the last line capitalised as this will be the postcode and should be all capitals. eg AB12 3CD.
Will i need to loop through every letter to change them or is there an actual formatting i can use? Also would i need to try to use some kind of lookup to find the last code(10) and make sure that this stayed as capitals?
How can I make this code fire for column 2 AND column 3?

Is there any way I can format the cell to run the formula when the information has been pasted into the spreadsheet
I am using a Uderform in order to check if some cells in several columns are higher or lower than values I set in my textboxes.
However, I think I am having a mistake in my code (it runs but doesnt return the correct informations) as I have blank cells in certain columns.
Concretely I am giving 1 point if the criteria is valid (if for example the value in the cell is <= 1) but some of these criteria are 1 when they should be 0.
As I said it runs but I need to add a fix for empty cells / blank cells and if possible N/A error cells in this so that the code gives 0 to the criteria and moves to the next column (next select case)..
I have a button in a spreadsheet that auto populate's certain cells with this script very simple.
Sub Bundle_8230()
[C242] = "HP NC8230"
[C243] = "Deluxe Laptop Bag"
[C244] = "Travel Battery"
[C245] = "Mouse"
[C246] = "Keyboard"
[C247] = "Port Replicator"
[D242] = "1"
[D243] = "1"
[D244] = "1"
[D245] = "1"
[D246] = "1"
[D247] = "1"
End Sub
What i would need is a script so that it doesn't look at those specific cells
but a range of cells and every time the button is clicked it will fall into the first empty cells.
So example when button is clicked
Case 1 if cells C242 has something look at cell C243
If cell C243 has something look at cell C244
If cell C244 has nothing then enter data that goes with that button.
I have around 6 to 7 different buttons.
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.
For the following code, I'm getting the " Case without Select Case" error (On Case 3 to 5...assuming more are wrong too, but debug can't get there yet). I thought I had it right, obviously don't. Can anyone spot how my code is wrong? ....
