How do I change from upper case to proper case in excel 2002

[CT Man]

Help is too confusing. I can tell from it that I have to do a formula for
proper case, but it is unclear how to do it

 

[Tyro]

If the upper case is in cell A1. Put this in cell B1 =PROPER(A1)

If you have your text i cell A1, but this formula in some other cell:
=Proper(a1)

Don't click on the fx button, just type Per's formula into a cell.

Also, open Help and type in "proper". When reading about that function there
will be a "how" button showing you how to copy the example formula to the
worksheet.

Also, since things like formulas are confusing, perhaps a basic tutorial in
Excel would assist.

Here are a few basic tutorials for Excel to get a beginner going.

If your name is "JOHN DOE" and is in cell A1, then select cell B1 and type
the following: =PROPER(A1) then press the enter key.

OK, That helps me change 1 cell to Proper case. I have to change a whole
spreadsheet. Basically, I imported some addresses into excel in order to do
a mailing and it capitalized all of the text. Thanks.

To change the entire used range on a worksheet at once would require a Macro.

Here is one to change all cells to Proper Case.

Sub Proper()
Dim Cell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Cell In Selection
Cell.Formula = Application.Proper(Cell.Formula)
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

If you're not familiar with VBA and macros, see David McRitchie's site for
more on "getting started".

or Ron de De Bruin's site on where to store macros.

In the meantime..........

First...create a backup copy of your original workbook.

To create a General Module, hit ALT + F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor.

Hit CRTL + r to open Project Explorer.

Find your workbook/project and select it.

Right-click and Insert>Module. Paste the code in there. Save the
workbook and hit ALT + Q to return to your workbook.

Run or edit the macro by going to Tool>Macro>Macros.

You can also assign this macro to a button or a shortcut key combo.

1. Enter the formula in the first cell (b2, for example)
2. Select the cell that contains the formula. You will notice a small black square on the bottom right corner of the cell.
3. Click on the tiny square and drag down to the end. Each cell will automatically be filled with the formula with the cell number referenced by the formula incremented in each cell.

If step 3 doesn't work:
3. Right click on the tiny square and drag down to the end. When you release the mouse, a menu will appear. Select "series".

*******************************************************
When all your data is converted appropriately, select the entire column, copy, right click in an empty column, and select 'paste special'. In the window that appears, select 'values'.
