Changing the case of text in Excel.

This months Hints & Tips on changing the case of text in Excel comes from Mark Brown of Ashford. Thank you Mark.

Using LOWER, UPPER & PROPER

Many programs export data to Excel and on some occasions you find that you need to change the case of the imported text. The Excel LOWER, UPPER and PROPER functions will all do this for you.

 
 
 
 

The functions all take the same format:

=functionname(cell reference)

For example, let's say you have the word "HAPPY" in cell A1

The formula:

=LOWER(A1) will produce "happy"

=PROPER(A1) will produce "Happy"

The UPPER function is the opposite of the LOWER function and changes the text into uppercase.
