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.
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 have a column with the month as the full word (January or February, etc.). I need to translate the words to numbers in a separate column (1 or 2, etc.) I haven't been able to find a function that can help perform this task. "If" statements will not go further than 8 levels. The month function will not recognize it because it's not part of a full date. What other options do I have? I feel like I'm missing something obvious here...
how would one change the actual code words - instead of using if statements i would like to have when statements that do exactly the same thing, i just want to write "when blah then blah"
For example, on column X, if I type 20, bob or bobafett it type 2.0 instead but on column I if I type bob, it will type 3.0
they would all be edited manually
or even better, no matter where I type it on excel, it would go in the right column, like bob X, then it would change to 2.0 and go directly in the X column
Search Column A for a name (using an array if possible). If it finds this name, add a string of text to the AA cell on the same row that it found the name on.
For example,
If in A1 it finds the specified name. It then adds a string of text to AA1.
I 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?
It appears that the excel IF statement caps out at eight arguments. Is there a work around for this? I need to enter 29 arguments... Does excel have a CASE or Array function?
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 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?
I 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
In 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.
I have the following codes to test Caps Lock whether it is on or off. Instead of showing a msgbox when the Caps Lock is on, I there another way to show comment or other object as well as windows UserForms
I have a column of words in Column A and I want to replace all the times that these words appear in the rest of the excel sheet with the words in Column B. If someone has already answered a similar problem link me to the thread because I can't find anything.
I'm looking for a macro to remove all words (in a single word per cell format) in a range (approx 100 columns & 7000 rows), except for a list of 100 words.
I've been using conventional method to do this and it's time consuming. I would like to total up 2 column. A multiply B to be exact. Below are some examples:
Table 1 - Before totaling up:
Quantity Product 5 2 x Button A White 3 4 x Button B Pink 4 5 x Ribbon A Black 2 3 x Thread A White 6 2 x Cloth A Blue
Table 2 - After totaling up:
Quantity Product 10 Button A White 12 Button B Pink 20 Ribbon A Black 6 Thread A White 12 Cloth A Blue
I need to have the sum of the "Quantity" multiply "Product". Or in short A x B. And the end result need to have the number and "x" sign removed while keeping on the the products names. (2 x ) Take note it's "number" space "symbol" space.
Is it possible to have this type of case sensitive sorting (first all words beginning with a capital later and then all cells beginning with a lowercase letter):
I am trying to find certain words in a column and delete the word and characters following. For example, Say I have a column of info as seen below. This is a test of me. I am just experimenting with this stuff. Deleted (6/15/01) Let me know what you think. I am not sure about it all, but I guess I will figure it out. riviledge1 (01/05/06) Now let's see what happens when I try to test it.
I want to find all the "Priviledge1 (01/05/06)" and replace with nothing. Please note, the date will change with each record, so I need to figure out how to tell Excel to find "Priviledge1", delete it and the date behind it. So I want to delete "Priviledge1" and the next 11 characters including the space.
On to the topic, I have all the US and Canadian states abbreviated (CO = Colorado, etc.) and was wondering if there is a way to make all of them convert to their respective names in one fell swoop instead of writing it in for each one, one at a time. Something along the lines where I can make, CO = Colorado, TX = Texas and then hit enter and all of the abbreviations would convert. Some kind of command.
I want to sort on number of words, i.e. if a cell contains 1 or 2 words etc, with the cells containing 1 word coming first then cells containing 2 words. Also, if possible, first the cells with fewer characters.
I have tried Sumproduct and Countif and can not get a proper count of rows that contain specific words in multiple columns. I have attached an example spreadsheet where I am looking for a result of 7 rows that contain 1 to 4 specific words within phrases. The example looks for the words: "virus", "spyware", "malware" & "adaware", and ignores any other words like "aware" or "ware".
