I have a spreadsheet with one column data containing text, only differing by
being in either upper or lower case. I need to filter uppercase from lower
case but can't find how. Advance filter does not seem to cover case sensitive
any suggestions, perhaps another way of doing this ?
You certainly can use the Advanced Filter. You need to use formulas for
criteria.
Here is an example.
Table set starting at
A4: Data
Data Values
NOW IS 2
now is 3
FOR ALL 4
for all 5
Criteria (to extract lower case text lines)
A1: <empty cell
A2: =EXACT(A5,LOWER(A5))
Advanced Filter
List Range: $A$4:$B$8
Criteria RAnge: $A$1:$A$2
The result, is:
Data Values
now is 3
for all 5
To extract the upper case entries,
A2: =upper(a5,exact(a5))
