Greetings,

I cannot figure out how to use the Proper Function in a macro that runs
my spreadsheet. I need the out put to be normal and not all caps. The
users, use all caps because they are too lazy to hit the shift key.

I have 12 sheets, one for each month with 12 columns and 200 rows per
sheet. I know from reading the other "proper, tags" in the forum the
entire book can be done with a macro, at the location I try to place
it, everything after the proper, stops working. Any assistance would be
appreciated!

Thanks,

You do not give us the "macro" or formula that you are using. We are not
mind readers.

VBA has a StrConv function.

I'm not quite sure what you're doing, but you can use this kind of function to
convert a string to proper case:

dim myStr as string
myStr = "this is a test"
mystr = strconv(mystr,vbProperCase)
msgbox myStr

Try this macro.

Sub Proper_All_Sheets()
Dim cell As Range
Dim moretext As String
Dim ws As Worksheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set wkbkToCount = ActiveWorkbook
For Each ws In wkbkToCount.Worksheets
ws.Activate
For Each cell In ws.UsedRange
If Not cell.HasFormula And Not IsNumeric(cell) Then
cell.Formula = Application.Proper(cell.Formula)
End If
Next cell
Next ws
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Here is the code I need the proper function to merge with, sorry about
not posting it to view.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
With Target
If .Count 1 Then Exit Sub
'Update date-time stamp when a job is set in column E
If Not Intersect(Range("A3:A300"), .Cells) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.Offset(0, 4).ClearContents
Else
If .Offset(0, 4).Value = "" Then
With .Offset(0, 4)
.NumberFormat = "dd/mmm/yyyy - hh:mm"
.Value = Now
End With
End If
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
'Update date-time stamp when job is completed in column H
ElseIf Not Intersect(Range("K3:K300"), .Cells) Is Nothing Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
If IsEmpty(.Value) Then
.Offset(0, -3).ClearContents
.Offset(0, -2).ClearContents
Else
With .Offset(0, -3)
.NumberFormat = "dd/mmm/yyyy - hh:mm"
.Value = Now
End With
'Calculate job duration in column I
.Offset(0, -2) = .Offset(0, -3) - .Offset(0, -6)
End If
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = False
Select Case Target.Column
Case 5, 8, 9
Application.Undo
MsgBox "This cannot be Changed!"
End Select
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Dave,

I need the first letter in Cap & the rest in lower, I tried what you
gave me and it doesn't seem to work. Thanks,

What version of Excel are you using? I am using XL2003 and its AutoCorrect
(Tools/AutoCorrect Options) feature already does this (live, as you type)
when the "Capitalize first letter of sentences" check box is checked.

Rick

Proper Will Make The First Letter Of Each Word Uppercase.

..Value = StrConv(.Value, vbProperCase)
becomes
..value = ucase(left(.value,1)) & lcase(mid(.value))

Get both spots.
