Spelling/mixed casing

How do I correct spelling mistakes or introduce toggle casing or upper case where it didn't exist on the spreadsheet?

RE: Spelling/mixed casing

Hi Liz

Thank you for your question. There are three Excel functions that can help:

UPPER()

LOWER()

PROPER()

They return uppercase, lowercase or Title Case results. Just create a formula using the relevant function eg =PROPER(A1) Turns text in A1 to Title Case (words with capital initials)
or LOWER("SOME TEXT") would produce the result:

some text

Beyond that we would need to create a macro to make changes (e.g. capitalise the first word of every sentence)

I hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Shortcuts for working with named ranges in Excel

If you are working with or creating named ranges in your spreadsheets, then you may find the following shortcut keys useful.

- Bring up the Define Names dialogue box on screen by using Ctrl + F3 (instead of going to Insert - Names).

- Create Names from labels you have entered into the spreadsheet by highlighting the labels and related figures, then hold down Shift + Ctrl + F3. You can then choose to create names from the top or bottom rows, or left or right columns.

- Go directly to a named range by hitting the F5 key. The Go To dialogue box will open and display any named ranges in the spreadsheet. Simply select the named range to navigate to it in the spreadsheet.
