Take it easy and try to go through all these steps yourself. You'll see that changing case with the use of Excel functions is not difficult at all. If you don't want to mess with formulas in Excel, you can use a special command for changing text case in Word. Feel free to discover how this method works. Now you've got your Excel table in Word. Highlight the text in your table where you want to change the case. Pick one of 5 case options from the drop-down list.
Now you have your table with the text case converted in Word. Just copy and paste it back to Excel. You can also use a VBA macro for changing case in Excel. Don't worry if your knowledge of VBA leaves much to be desired. A while ago I didn't know much about it as well, but now I can share three simple macros that make Excel convert text to uppercase, proper or lowercase.
I won't labor the point and tell you how to insert and run VBA code in Excel because it was well described in one of our previous blog posts. I just want to show the macros that you can copy and paste into the code Module. To apply Excel lowercase to your data, insert the code shown below into the Module window.
Looking at the three methods described above you might still think that there is no easy way to change case in Excel. Let's see what the Cell Cleaner add-in can do to solve the problem.
Probably, you'll change your mind afterwards and this method will work best for you. After the installation the new Ablebits Data tab appears in Excel. Select the cells where you want to change the text case.
The Change case pane displays to the left of your worksheet. Below is an overview of each of these functions. Using the lower function takes the value of any cell, and converts it to lowercase text. For example, if you wanted to show in cell B1 a lowercase version of the text in A1, you could type the below function into B1.
Using the proper function takes the value of any cell, and converts it to proper case. For example, if you wanted to show in cell B1 a proper case version of the text in A1, you could type the below function into B1. Using the upper function takes the value of any cell, and converts it to uppercase text.
For example, if you wanted to show in cell B1 an uppercase version of the text in A1, you could type the below function into B1.
These are the functions we can use in any worksheet in Excel. The function will evaluate to text that is all lower case. The function will evaluate to text that is all upper case. The function will evaluate to text that is all proper case where each word starts with a capital letter and is followed by lower case letters. After using the Excel formulas to change the case of our text, we may want to convert these to values.
This can be done by copying the range of formulas and pasting them as values with the paste special command. Flash fill is a tool in Excel that helps with simple data transformations.
We only need to provide a couple examples of the results we want, and flash fill will fill in the rest. We need to type out a couple of examples of the results we want. When Excel has enough examples to figure out the pattern, it will show the suggested data in a light grey font. We can accept this suggested filled data by pressing Enter. We can also access flash fill from the ribbon.
Flash fill will work for many types of simple data transformations including changing text between lower case, upper case and proper case. This will open up the power query editor where we can apply our text case transformations. This will create a new column with all text converted to lower case letters using the Text. Lower power query function.
This will create a new column with all text converted to upper case letters using the Text. Upper power query function. This will create a new column with all text converted to proper case lettering, where each word is capitalized, using the Text.
Proper power query function. When we think of pivot tables, we generally think of summarizing numeric data. But pivot tables can also summarize text data when we use the data model and DAX formulas. There are even DAX formula to change text case before we summarize it! First, we need to create a pivot table with our text data. This will allow us to use the necessary DAX formula to transform our text case.
