I am trying to set up a worksheet that shows shifts using a Capital "D" and a lower case "d" (one is for a 12 hour shift, the other for only 6 hours). Is there any way to set up a Countif formula that makes the distinction?

Is it possible to make a spreadsheet so that everything that is typed into it is in CAPITALS? I have a need for that for a spreadsheet that I am using at work, but I remembered that in the title box above it only capitlaizes the first letter. I thought if it can do it with the first letter can Excel do it with all of the letters.

I have tried to combine RIGHT, FIND and PROPER (for upper case) in one formula but it does not work.
I have many lines of text and I wondered if there is a formula so I can insert a comma before the first capital letter of each line? A small amount of text is below
leave on left Salter Road
right Brunel Road
What i would like is there to be a comma before the first capital letter so it reads
leave on left, Salter Road
right, Brunel Road
Is this even possible?
I have code that I just noticed will not work if user inputs a capital S. I have tried a few things but I can not seem to get it to work. Here was the original code:

if there's any way for vba to detect if each individual character in a string is in caps, and if so, convert to lower case, and if it's in lower case, convert to capitalized
The text will vary in length and content... so he wants to see how we can change:

I am attempting to create a capital depreciation schedule that gives us our total operating impact for a given calendar year. I can populate my depreciation based on the purchase month, and fill across the schedule the monthly depreciation cost, however, I'm not sure how to stop the depreciation after the item has depreciated fully (say after 36 months).
For example, if someone were to select March 2013 in B5, monthly depreciation should begin in E5 and spread across ONLY 36 months. If they were to select April 2013, the depreciation would begin in F5 and extend ONLY 36 months.
I think it might be possible to do this with an COUNTIF function, but it is not working for me.
I have this code (this is just a snippet)
For Each cel In Range("E6:AI15").Cells
If IsError(cel.Value) Then
Else
Select Case UCase(cel.Value)
Case "H"
cel.Font.ColorIndex = 0
cel.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case "S"
cel.Font.ColorIndex = 0
cel.Interior.ColorIndex = 10
but I want the cells to accept both upper and lower case values and format the cells accordingly ie. H or h, S or s
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 9 Replies View RelatedHow to change the lowercase letters to uppercase letters?
While using the userform, for example "name" is entered in the form.
My requirement is the values should reflect as uppercase letters like "NAME"
I am trying to change string values of a name from uppercase to lowercase. The data is layed out as lastname then first name. As an example, I have the following values in column C:
ANDERSON MICHAEL
SMITH SUSAN P
JOHNSON PATRICK
JORDAN MICHAEL R
WOODS TIGER
CLINTON WILLIAM J
I am trying to convert to following (with "," between lastname & firstname):
Anderson, Michael
Smith, Susan P
Johnson, Patrick
Jordan, Michael R
Woods, Tiger
Clinton, William J
I have a start of how I think the code should flow but can't figure out how to do the conversion.
=upper("venkat") returns VENKAT
=upper(a1) returns the text in A1 in upper case
similary lower
proper will turn the first letter into uppercase
is this what you want;.

of using a function for this purpose.
find the "add in" that converts the case text
from lower to upper in excel. i've already downloaded this before but can't
remember where from and it is much easier than creating a formula or a macro
I have data in cell A1 as below:
36, TREE ROAD, 5TH FLOOR
I want it in proper format in cell A2 as below:
36, Tree Road, 5th Floor
I used formula =Proper(A1), it gave results as:
36, Tree Road, 5Th Floor
The only problem I face is after any number, the next character should in lowercase, i.e. 5th
I have a file with about 30-40 macros in it. In a file with nothing in it, whenever I type the word " range" xl automatically changes it to title case. But I noticed recently everywhere the term 'range' occurs in my macros it is lower case.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook on which I want to change all the text from Lower to Upper case.
How can I do this without retyping .
I've got a column of data that I need to split into further columns, the only way of identifying the split from the data is if a lower case character appears next to an upper case character.
For example, a cell in column A could look like;
Computer ProductsDrivesDVDExternal
And I'd need to split that out to cover columns A B and C with
Computer Products / Drives / DVDExternal
I'd need to do that for all the cells in column A.
A sample macro has EXACTLY the effect that I want, but contains absolute references. I want it to operate on a string selected by the mouse. How can I make that conversion ?
The successful macro will change the case of text I select to lower case.
I've got a 96000 line spreadsheet with individual words or abbreviations in each cell of the first column. I need to sort it with numbers first, then Capitalized words, then lowercase words. The numbers aren't an issue but sorting the Caps first then lower case without getting words that have a cap in the middle is frying my tiny brain. Originally I dug around here and found a search for caps that returned a True/False then sorted the columns on the result. =MIN(--EXACT(Dict3,LOWER(Dict3)))=0 Then I found that I had abbreviations in the list like cGy and eV or cGMB that incorrectly showed up as true but weren't. Now I need a modification or a better answer. I tried a fw dozen things but obviously I'm barking up the wrong functions.

I 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
