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 RepliesI 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?
When I use a simple formula such as:
=upper(a1)
that will obviously change whatever is in a1 to Upper Case - but it will put it in the cell that holds the formula.
What I want to know is:
Is there any way I can format the cell to run the formula when the information has been pasted into the spreadsheet
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):
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
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:
"This Is Strange" to "tHIS iS sTRANGE"
"THIS IS STRANGE" to "this is strange"
"this is strange" to "THIS IS STRANGE"
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
How 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 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?
View 12 Replies View RelatedI'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
I'm using Excel 2010. When I type 'true' or 'false' in any cell, Excel automatically changes to CAPITAL and Align Centre. I have to use the function 'lower' to change to lower case and manually to align to the left.
How to change the default setting.
I am trying to detete rows that have several specific values, upper and lower case, (A-H) in any of several columns (B through H). I can delete upper and lower case "D"s in column B, but I'm having difficulty stringing together several variations and getting at the "D"s that are midstream (such as: ADeC), I tried ("*D*") to no avail.
With . Cells(Lrow, "B")
If Not IsError(.Value) Then
'****
If LCase(.Value) = LCase("D") Then .EntireRow.Delete
Is there a data validation that will not allow all upper case or all lower case characters?
For examples:
Allow:
John Doe
101A N Woodbine Street
Disallow:
JOHN DOE
101A N WOODBINE STREET
Disallow:
john doe
101a n woodbine street
Or perhaps formatting that would convert the words to upper/lower case?
Or, I would be interested in VBA if it is the only way.
Does anyone have a way to change columns of text entered in all caps to the initial capital letter and the rest of the text in small letters.
As in: JONES to Jones.
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.

Whenever I type " Range", such as in:
Dim myRange As Range
Excel immediately auto-corrects the line as such:
Dim myRange As range
This creates a problem because apparently excel believes "range" is the name of a variable. So when I run the macro, it runs the line and declares the following error:
Run-time error '91': Object variable or With block variable not set
The following is my exact code. The very last line line is where the error occurs.
Dim count As Integer
Dim column As Integer
Dim startRange As String
Dim endRange As String
Dim theRange As String

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?
