Thread: Changing from lower case to upper case in microsoft.public.excel.misc
Started 4 weeks, 1 day ago by Hok Wong
If I have an excel document where most of the text within the cells have been
written in lowercase, is there an easy way to change all the text into
uppercase? I thought i'd seen an option for that years ago, but typically,
now i want to use it, i can't find it.
using formulas, you can use the UPPER function.
via macros, you can use the UCase operator. Something like:
Sub CapMe()
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
'Adjust as desired
For Each cell In ws.Range("A1:Z200")
cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value)
Next cell
Next ws
End Sub
--

With text in A1:
=UPPER(A1) will display the text in all upper case
If you want to convert the text "in place", then try this simple macro:
Sub GoToUpper()
For Each r In Selection
r.Value = UCase(r.Value)
Next
End Sub
First select the cells and then run the macro.

=UPPER(text)
Where (text) is the cell you want to change

There is an Upper function
=Upper(A1)
Will take the contents of A1 and change it too upper case. You can then
paste it back special values only if that is necessary...

Just make sure there are no formulas in the cells you select.
This code will change all to values only.

You also have the option of =proper( )
rather than upper. if you need

Here is what I use, first read this link on how to install the macros then
just select the range in question and run them, Save them in your PERSONAL
macro workbook which is hidden by default. The below has 3 macros, upper,
lower and proper case
You can also use a help column and a formula
=UPPER(A1)
=LOWER(A1...
=UPPER(ref)
