Let us assume it to be ‘C2’ in this case. Step 1: Click on the cell where you wish to get the capitalized version of cell ‘A2’. This means ‘A2’ will be the first cell that we need to capitalize.
#Excel convert text to uppercase excel how to#
Follow the below steps to understand how to use the ‘Upper’ function in MS Excel to convert the alphabets in a cell to the uppercase.Ĭonsidering that you have a list of items in column ‘A’ in your Excel file and that cell ‘A1’ is used as the column header and we do not need to capitalize it. We can use the uppercase formula on multiple cells by simply dragging it (just like any other formula of MS Excel). However, if more than one word is written in a cell, then all the words will get converted to uppercase after we execute this formula, which has also been shown in the above image.
We cannot enter multiple cell references in the formula of uppercase. Like every other function/formula that we use in MS Excel, we need to define parameters for ‘Upper’ also. Once the input cell reference (‘A2’ in this case) has been entered, we can close the bracket and press the ‘Enter’ key or simply press the ‘Enter’ key to get the text converted into uppercase. We have selected the cell ‘A2’ (by clicking on it) after we entered the formula in the cell where we wish to get the output. Refer to the screenshot below for more clarity. Once we press the ‘Tab’ button, the formula is entered in the cell, and then we need to select the cell whose value we wish to see in uppercase alphabets. Let us try to understand how to use this formula and what parameter we should put in it.Īs soon as we start entering the text “=upper”, MS Excel automatically displayed the formula and the hover text explaining the purpose of the formula. It always changes the case of all the alphabets that are present in a particular cell. The only drawback of using Uppercase is that we do not choose whether we want to change the case of all the letters or only the first letter.
#Excel convert text to uppercase excel code#
Target = UCase(Target.Cells(1)) in my macro works because Target.Cells(1) is a single cell and Excel fills the entire Target range with its result.īTW: there is a quicker way to go to the code window of the worksheet: simply right click the sheet's tab and select View Code.The image given below shows the list with the corrected format.Īs we have already discussed, unlike MS Word, MS Excel does not have an easy option of changing the case of words from lowercase to uppercase, and so we use the formula of Uppercase. So Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value) crashes because UCase can only change text in a single cell. Target does not refer to the active cell but to the entire selection range. When you enter data in a multiple cell selection and press Ctrl+Enter, Excel enters the data in all cells of the selection and then fires Worksheet_Change. This version of the first macro deals with it: The macros of this tip crash when you select more than one cell, enter text and press Ctrl+Enter. Must be replaced by (see the 2007 version) When you enter text the macro is fired, changes the text to upper case and re-enters it in the worksheet which fires the macro. The macros in this tip have a bug and are even dangerous to use !!! If you need to have a different range converted, specify that range in the second line of the macro. In this particular example, only text entered in cells A1:B10 will be converted everything else will be left as entered. If Not (Application.Intersect(Target, Range("A1:B10")) Is Nothing) Then If you don't want everything converted, but only cells in a particular area of the worksheet, you can modify the macro slightly: Now anything (except formulas) that are entered into any cell of the worksheet will be automatically converted to uppercase. In the code window for the worksheet, paste the above macro.(You may need to first open the VBAProject folder, and then open the Microsoft Excel Objects folder under it.)
