Something like the below (Works on a selection)

Sub UPPERFirst3()
Dim myCell As Range
For Each myCell In Selection
myCell.Value = UCase(Left(myCell.Value, 3)) & Mid(myCell.Value, 4,
Len(myCell.Value) - 3)
Next myCell
End Sub

For a variety of reasons I frequently have to convert long columns of text
into text for which the first three characters are in upper case and the
rest
of the text string is in lower case.

Example: "Rastafarian" would have to be converted to "RAStafarian".

This is easy enough to do with a formula; i.e.,
=CONCATENATE(UPPER(LEFT(D14,3)),MID(D14,4,1000)) however I would like to
create a macro and attach it to a button so that I can convert these text
strings in one click.

How would I express the above formula in VBA syntax?

Thanks,

Dave
