Please e-mail me back ASAP, if there's a way to do this in Excel... I know
WORD has it, but I can't seem to find it EXCEL

I dump it into word, change to lowercase and dump it back to excel.
Excel does not have this.

Actually there is a way in Excel... use the =LOWER() function.

Example:
=LOWER("UPPER CASE TEXT") will return "upper case text"

Try this, lets say your original values are in column A, in the range
A1:A1000. Place the formula =LOWER(A1) in B1 and drag all the way down to
B1000. Then, copy the B1:B1000 range, right-click on A1, click "Paste
Special..." and select "Values".

Use this technique to the cells you want to change, I used column's A and B
in this example.

look up the functions:

UPPER - converts to upper case
LOWER - converts to lower case
PROPER - converts to proper case (First Letter Of Each Word Capitalized)

Copy the following macro:

Sub Change_Case()
Dim ocell As Range
Dim Ans As String
Ans = Application.InputBox("Type in Letter" & vbCr & _
"(L)owercase, (U)ppercase, (S)entence, (T)itles ")
If Ans = "" Then Exit Sub
For Each ocell In Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 2)
Select Case UCase(Ans)
Case "L": ocell = LCase(ocell.Text)
Case "U": ocell = UCase(ocell.Text)
Case "S": ocell = UCase(Left(ocell.Text, 1)) & _
LCase(Right(ocell.Text, Len(ocell.Text) - 1))
Case "T": ocell = Application.WorksheetFunction.Proper(ocell.Text)
End Select
Next

End Sub

This worked for me:
Create a blank column to the right of the column you want to change upper
case to lower case - let's say your information is in Column A.
Type =(LOWERA1) in the first cell of the blank column. (If your info is in
Column B, type B1, etc)
Click the corner of that cell and drag all the way down to the last cell
that has info in it.
Like magic, the letters were changed to lower case.
I still don't know how this worked after all I've read here, but it did.

I hope you meant =LOWER(A1) not =(LOWERA1) ?
