How do I change the case from all caps to proper for names I have in columns E, F, G?
There is something wrong with the picture you posted. F1 should not be displaying "=PROPER(E1)" try using another column eg column G and try typing =proper(e1) note in lowercase. Excel should automatically convert it to uppercase if it recognized it as a valid excel function, otherwise set it General and then try retyping the formula duugg Wrote: Ugh! This is driving me crazy! Why is it not changing the names to proper?? Sorry everyone, I feel oblivious to this. I've attached a pic of the spreadsheet to show everyone that it's not changing the text to proper. I do have it set to automatic as well. Again, thanks for everyone's help on this. -- FireWater ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FireWater's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33846 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535552 |

if you enter the formula =PROPER(E1) in F1 this have no impact on the contents of E1. E1 will remain the same as *john smith*. But after you enter the formula =PROPER(E1) in F1 and press enter, F1 then will show you the contents of E1 in PROPER CASE like this *John Smith*. -- starguy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ starguy's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=32434 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535552 |

No, text format is set to black as I see the name there in all small fonts (no proper case). Other than tools, options, calculation, automatic setting checked, is there something else that should be checked to make this work? -- duugg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ duugg's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33372 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=535552 |
