This article will introduce two ways to change test case in Excel. You can perform UPPER\LOWER\PROPER functions to convert text into uppercase or lowercase letters in Excel , and you can also use VBA macro to perform the task. Select one you like, and let me show you the methods.

You may meet the situation that all texts in Excel worksheet are in lowercase letters, and you want these texts displayed in uppercase, so is there any convenient way to perform?

• UPPER\LOWER\PROPER functions to convert text
• Convert Text Case with VBA macro

UPPER\LOWER\PROPER functions to convert text in Excel

---

1# Below is a list of texts displayed in uppercase letters. And you want to convert them into uppercase. How can we do?

2# Select cell B2 just next to the selected cell. Then enter =UPPER(A2). A2 is the cell already selected by mouse, you don’t need to enter it manually.

3# Click Enter. You can get the result.

4# Hold the mouse and drag it down from B2 to B3. Then B3 is fill with the formula.

5# Sometimes you may just want to change the first letter in text to uppercase. This time we can use PROPER function. Enter =PROPER(A2).

6# See the result.

Note:If texts have more than two words like david li, then both letter ‘d’ and ‘l’ in each word will be converted to uppercase by PROPER function, like David Li.

7# If you want to change uppercase to lowercase, perform LOWER function. Just like perform UPPER function.
