    Convert text to uppercase/lowercase using Macros

    hello friends,

    I have some worksheets and other documents in which I want to convert the lowercase letters to uppercase. And also in some documents, I want to convert the capital letters to lowercase ones. Is it possible for me to do this using macros ?

    kindly help....

    Change Text to Uppercase

    The following macro converts the text in cells to uppercase -

    Code:
    Sub Uppercase()
    
    '
    'This will make the text of any selection of cells uppercase.
    '
    For Each x In Selection
    x.Value = UCase(x.Value)
    Next
    End Sub
    Note - This macro works only for the selected cells within Excel and it will work for ranges that include rows, columns, and both at the same time.

    Re: Convert text to uppercase/lowercase using Macros

    There are 2 built-in functions in Excel for converting text to either UPPER CASE or Proper Case.
    The 2 functions are shown below :
    =UPPER(A1)
    =PROPER(A1)

    Note - Proper Case means the first letter of every word in string is capital or uppercase.

    The Excel macro code below can be used to change existing text to either UPPER CASE or Proper Case.

    Code:
    Sub ConvertCase()
    
    Dim rAcells As Range, rLoopCells As Range
    
    Dim lReply As Long
    
    
    
        'Set variable to needed cells
    
        If Selection.Cells.Count = 1 Then
    
            Set rAcells = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
    
        Else
    
           Set rAcells = Selection
    
        End If
    
    
    
    
    
        On Error Resume Next 'In case of NO text constants.
    
        'Set variable to all text constants
    
        Set rAcells = rAcells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues)
    
        
    
        If rAcells Is Nothing Then
    
           MsgBox "Could not find any text."
    
           On Error GoTo 0
    
           Exit Sub
    
        End If
    
              
    
        lReply = MsgBox("Select 'Yes' for UPPER CASE or 'No' for Proper Case.", _
    
        vbYesNoCancel, "website.com")
    
        If lReply = vbCancel Then Exit Sub
    
      
    
        If lReply = vbYes Then ' Convert to Upper Case
    
              For Each rLoopCells In rAcells
    
                  rLoopCells = StrConv(rLoopCells, vbUpperCase)
    
              Next rLoopCells
    
        Else ' Convert to Proper Case
    
              For Each rLoopCells In rAcells
    
                  rLoopCells = StrConv(rLoopCells, vbProperCase)
    
              Next rLoopCells
    
        End If
    
    End Sub
