I want to change Normal Text on one worksheet to CAPITAL TEXT on a second
sheet to which it is linked. I have been able to do this by adding an
additional column to my second sheet, using the "UPPER" function and copying
all the data to the adjacent column. Can I apply this funtion directly to my
linked text ? I get assorted error messages when I try this. The formula
looks somehting like :
=Summary!G10+Upper(b3) where the first part is the name of the linked data,
and the second part attempting to convert it to capitals!
Any advice please? Many Thanks

=UPPER(Summary!G10)

I'm trying to do the same with a separate column of unlinked text, it isn't
working- and I end up with the following in the cell:
=My Text+UPPER(C3)
Bracketing as previous dosn't seem to work in this case??

Insert a column to the right of Col A
In cell B1 (assuming data is in A1) enter =UPPER(A1)
Copy this forumla down Col B until you have converted all cells
Select all cells in Col B that have data in them
Edit - Copy
Select cell A1 (Assuming this is where the data starts)
Edit Paste Special Values
Delete Col B
