Text All Capitals
In MSWord, formatting can easily be set so that selected text is always in
capitals by FormatFontsAll Caps. Can text in Excel be similarly formatted? |
Yes it can be done, but not quite in the same way that Word works. Assuming Column A (ie A1, A2, A3 etc) contains the data you wish to converted to upper case, choose a parallel Column B (ie B1, B2, B3 etc.) and use the formula =UPPER(A1) =UPPER(A2) =UPPER(A3) and so on. -- MartinShort Software Tester ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MartinShort's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=22034 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=375201 |
Hi Joey,
You can use macros in Excel see http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel...ars.htm#macros You can use the upper_case macro to convert existing entries in a selection. Then you install the change event macro to a specific sheet customized to convert entries to a specific column upon entry (change event). You would be installing two different kinds of macros as described in the text. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "MartinShort" wrote in message ...
