Hi,

How do I automatically capitalize the first letter of every word in an excel cell?

Thanks.

Ins

I am preparing a list of addresses, some of which are in all lower case. Is there a way to automatically capitalize the first letter of each word in Excel? Again, I already have the addresses typed out, so it isn't just a matter of having Excel automatically capitalize the first letter of each word as I type them.

And I realize this is an Excel forum, but perhaps there is a way to do this in Word?

I'm trying to put together a userform that has multiple text boxes on it and I'd like to have the form auto capitalize the first letter in each word of the various text boxes. Some of the words in the text boxes will contain numbers, just as a heads up. I've searched and cannot find anything that I can get to work. Below is the code I have started, but I have no idea if it is even in the ballpark. If I can put together a sub that will do all the boxes at once instead of the individual fields that would be great, what I have started was one of the fields. Please help

Code:

Private Sub B1FirstName_Change()
    Dim x As Range
    'This will make the first letter of the text within any selection of
    'cells uppercase.
    For Each x In Selection
        x.Value = StrConv(x.Value, vbProperCase)
    Next x
    
End Sub

Hi i found this VBA but i need it to change it for more columns not just column 3 ("C") i also need D F G J T W. how can this formula be modified?
Thank you.

Hi,

I have this code that helps me force text to UPPER & lower case and have the one for ProperCase.

What I cant find, is one that will capitalize just the first letter of each sentence.
Is there such a formular? I have set it in the auto correct function, but it still doesn't do it as I type in a cell.


VB:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range) 
     
    If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Or Target.HasFormula Then Exit Sub 
    On Error Resume Next 
     
     ' forces text to UPPERCase
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("B4:B153")) Is Nothing Then 
        Application.EnableEvents = False 
        Target = UCase(Target) 
        Application.EnableEvents = True 
    End If 
     
     ' forces text to lowerCase
    If Not Intersect(Target, Range("C4:D153")) Is Nothing Then 
        Application.EnableEvents = False 
        Target = LCase(Target) 
        Application.EnableEvents = True 
    End If 
    On Error Goto 0 
     
End Sub

In Excel 2003, I am referencing a text string and would like to return the text string with only the first letter capitalized. The PROPER function does not do this, as it capitalizes the first letter of every word. The formula below does however perform this, but I would like to write it as a User-Defined Function, similar to the Proper function, so it can be applied to multiple different workbooks:

=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1))&LOWER(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1))

Is it even possible to write a User-Defined Function to complete this seemingly simple task and, if so, how do I do it?

Thanks,
Chris

I've got a bunch of text in column A. Here's a sample:
in cell A1, don't wait too long
in cell A2, i'll look around

And so on.

I want to capitalize each word so that in column B, it looks like:

B1) Don't Wait Too Long
B2) I'll Look Around
===============================

I did a Google search before posting and it seems the PROPER function is the solution here but when I enter =PROPER(A1) I get the following result which is definitely not want I want.

Don'T Wait Too Long
I'Ll Look Around

Obviously the apostrophy is mucking up the works. Is there a way to have Excel ignore the apostrophy when capitalizing words?

Im looking to find the word sample throughout my spreadsheet its, scattered every where, and i need to change sample to Sample,
and idea?

the range is a1:z500

Hi All,

It's my first post here. I've been sitting for nearly a day on Google and in Excel 2007, and have not been able to find a good solution for a problem I'm having.

What I need to do is fairly simple to explain:

I want to have the first letter of every word in a cell to be capitalized, but the rest of each word must remain as is.

Ie: If I have "My AMD CPU still has some pew-pew" in a cell, I want to be able to use a function, let's say:

=CapFix("My AMD CPU still has some pew-pew")

and the output should be:

My AMD CPU Still Has Some Pew-pew

I've tried using:

=PROPER("My AMD CPU still has some pew-pew")

But the output is:

My Amd Cpu Still Has Some Pew-pew

Which is incorrect (capitalization in the rest of the words "AMD" and "CPU" is lost). Does anybody here know what can be done to solve this problem, or have any info about what I can use to solve it? I have not been able to find any built-in Excel function to solve this, nor ASAP Utilities and I can add VBA code and macros, I just don't know how to manipulate the strings correctly or do the loops, etc that I think will be necessary to solve this.

If anyone could help, it would be much appreciated. I've not seen a single site where a similar problem has been posted. Even if you can't give me a full solution, but can point me in any direction that would be useful, I'd be really grateful.

Thanks in advance .

Hi guys,
I have to loop through a range in A, and if the letter "C" or the number "9" appears in the cell anywhere (it won't be a whole cell value) then I need column B to show "C".

I know how to do a whole value loop, but I'm stumped on a 'find X anywhere' search.

Thanks
