Need to Change Case from Mixed to Caps
Please help! I have a number of imported worksheets with some fields
formatted in mixed case and some in UPPER case. I want all data to look consistent. Is there a way that I can quickly turn all of the mixed case to upper case? Word has a button to do this but I don't see one in Excel. Thanks in advance. |

Hi,
have a look at the UPPER function in XLHelp -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.

You can apply "Upper" formula, even better would be to use "Proper" formula,
which capitalizes only first letter of each word from the reference data/cell. It works like; =upper(a1) and =proper(a1) Regards, Pritesh "Kathy" wrote: Please help!

Thank you! This works but now I need to get rid of the column with the
improperly formatted case (so that there are not two duplicate columns of text). How can I do that? Can I turn the new column with the "Upper" and "Proper" formulas into text?

Hi Kathy
Copy your new column which has the formulaePaste SpecialValues That will "fix" the formulae to their resulting text appearance. You can then delete the original column. -- Regards Roger Govier Kathy wrote: Thank you!
