Default Changing from lower to upper case

Sure , example for b1:b10 on "Sheet1"
Look at David site also if you want to change the case in formulas also
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/proper.htm


Sub Uppercase_macro()
Dim selectie As Range
Dim cel As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set selectie = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("b1:b10") _
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues)
If selectie Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
For Each cel In selectie
cel.Value = UCase(cel.Value)
Next cel
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub

Ron,
Is there a way I can name the range in your example? That
way the user doesn't have to select the range and run the
macro. Thanks. Matt


-----Original Message-----
Be careful with this code example
If there is a formula in the range then it will be a

value after
you run this macro.

Use this one
Look at the webpages also below the macro

Here is a Macro for changing text cells in the selection

Sub Uppercase_macro()
Dim selectie As Range
Dim cel As Range
On Error Resume Next
Set selectie = Range(ActiveCell.Address & "," &

Selection.Address) _
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues)
If selectie Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
For Each cel In selectie
cel.Value = UCase(cel.Value)
Next cel
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
End Sub

See this webpages

Hi Matt,
This code will change all text starting in cell D1 to
upper case. Adjust D1 to whatever your range is. This
will loop until the first blank cell in Col. D.

Sub trythis()
' Text already in Upper Case is ignored.

Range("D1").Select
Do Until ActiveCell = ""
ActiveCell = UCase(ActiveCell)
ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select
Loop

End Sub

You can use a functer UPPER()

How would I set a certain region of cells so that no
matter what case the user types it always appears or
changes to upper case? Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks. Matt
