How to test text case for Upper/Lower/Proper
 

Hi All,
I'm trying to find a way to test case of certain text-strings to see if they
are upper, lower, proper, etc., in a VBA in Excel (similar to Word's VBA
Case functions (wdLowerCase, wdUpperCase, wdTitleSentence, wdTitleWord) - it
would be nice to have Excel functions: IsTextUpper, IsTextLower,
IsTextProper, etc.
Does anyone know how this may be done?
Thanks a lot - JS

Try some code like the following:

Dim S As String
S = "whatever"
If StrComp(S, UCase(S), vbBinaryCompare) = 0 Then
Debug.Print "UPPER CASE"
ElseIf StrComp(S, LCase(S), vbBinaryCompare) = 0 Then
Debug.Print "lower case"
ElseIf StrComp(S, StrConv(S, vbProperCase), vbBinaryCompare) = 0
Then
Debug.Print "Proper Case"
Else
Debug.Print "Mixed case"
End If
