I have a Excel text document that I compile from multiple sources, and if they don't leave a "white space" before a "/", "-", or "(" the Proper Case command does not capitalize the word that immediately follows that symbol.

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.
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. Example: Practical W/W appears as W/w or Woodturing (GMC) appears as Woodtrunign(gmc)

The following code works well unless the user entered the value in lower case.
How can I have it ignore the case of the "W"? I tried case match= false but I must not be using it correctly.
I found another macro on this site that will change the case to caps (note data comes in via copy / paste). Howerver, I was just wondering if it I can do this all in one step instead of two.
Sub DeleteSpecial()
Dim end_row As Integer
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
end_row = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1"). Range("D65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = end_row To 2 Step -1
If ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").Cells(i, 4).Value = "W" Then
ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("sheet1").Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub
Also, while I'm in the area, how can I rewrite the above code to actually look for a value of "S" at the same time it looks for "W" and upon finding either delete the row?
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?
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
Next cell
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 = 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
This is GOOD
Present output: GOOD
Desired Output: This GOOD

What can be suitable modification in this case?
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.

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 2 Replies View RelatedWhen 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.

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 7 Replies View RelatedI 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........
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
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 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'm in a situation where I need to find a workaround for a circular argument. I've decided that having a macro to run would work rather than have a formula in the cell I want populated.
Objective:
I need a macro to either completely ignore the contents of A31 or to change A31 based on the contents of B31. Sometimes there's a B32. Sometimes there's a B667. In which case, this would need to work for all cells A31-A667.
If B31 contains CHERRY or PEACH I want A31 to be altered to say TASTY. IF B31 contains SLIME I want A31 to be altered to say NASTY. If B31 does NOT contain, CHERRY, PEACH, or SLIME I need whatever is already in A31 to remain unchanged.
This would need to continue down the rows until there are no more contents in column B.
Best guess:
I like said - I'm awful. All I could come up with is an IF statement that isn't even complete.
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("PEACH",B31)),IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("CHERRY",B31)),"TASTY",(some formula
that doesn't change the contents of the cell))
But that's something I would have in cell A31 rather than a macro
I have in column D starting D9, I have numbers starting at 1, and may finish at 100. But there could be duplicates, 1,2,3,3,4,5,6,6,7,7,8,9,10,10,11,12,13,.........
I would like to only copy the range D9 to H (End of column D), ignoring all the duplicate numbers, to another sheet.
So on the second sheet, it would be 1,2,3,4,5,6...... with the data copied from E,F,G and H.
My workbook has several worksheets so do you need the name of those to be excluded? Or how many sheets i require which are located to the right of the summary tab?
Detail - 5 sheets to the left of summary tab are to be ingored, 7 to the right of the summary are to be pulled (let's say they're named Red, Green, Blue). I only want the colour named tab data pulled and pasted into the summary
Code is below :

I have the following Conditional Formatting vba code shown below which allows me to format diffrent ranges according to the values in the cell, What I want to be able to do is that if Mycell.value ="" then do not apply the colorindex value, in other words leave any cell in the range which has a null value unchanged.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()

Dim Mycell As Range
'SL80range formatting

Case 0.7 To 0.79999
Mycell.Interior.ColorIndex = 44
Case 0.00001 To 0.6999
Mycell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
Case Else
End Select

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'm fairly new to using VBA and have come into what is probably a simple problem to solve. However, I am looking to sort out my code.
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If IsNumeric(Target) And Target.Address = "$H$3" Then
Select Case Target.Value
[Code] .....
From the above the macro runs only with the Range H3, I would like have this code operate for the Range H3 to H10... I can't quite get it to work with a few formats I have tried.
And last but not least, is there a macro where I can perform a "change case" on the titles of all my graphs to be using "title case"?
To recap, this is what you have all come up with so far:
Sub DoAll()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim objCht As ChartObject
For Each wb In Application.Workbooks
