Detecting Case of Text in a Cell
 

Hi All

I know it's possible to change the case of text in a cell in Excel
using Lower, Upper and Proper, but is there a function that tells me
the current case of the text?

A user has a spreadsheet of catalogue items, some in proper case and
some in upper. He wants to seperate those in upper case into a separate
sheet but I can't think of an easy way of doing it.

Can anyone help?

Colin

Detecting Case of Text in a Cell
 

I'd use a column with cells containing a formula like:

=IF(EXACT(A1,UPPER(A1)),"Upper",IF(EXACT(A1,LOWER( A1)),"Lower",
IF(EXACT(A1,PROPER(A1)),"Proper","somethingelse")) )

(all one cell)

Then just filter on that column.

Be aware that 1234 will be treated as Upper--same with empty cells.
