Proper

[!!!]

What is the vba equivalent to the worksheet proper
function?

 

[Frank Kabel]

Hi
you could always use
application.worksheetfunction.proper

 

[Guest]

There is none so you can use

Application.Proper(Range("A1"))

as an example

Hi ....,
and if you would like to refine and improve usage in your macro
for lastnames such as my own, and for a correct title case as
in "A Year to Remember" take a look at
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/proper.htm
You would still have to make some adjustments but that should
get you a better start.

VBA has its own builtin function, too:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim myStr As String
myStr = "now is the TIME FOr all good MEN TO COME..."
myStr = StrConv(myStr, vbProperCase)
MsgBox myStr
End Sub

Try this,

Range("A1").Value=Application.WorksheetFunction.Proper(Range("A1").Value)

Or StrConv.

Try this,

Range("A1").Value=Application.WorksheetFunction.Proper(Range("A1").Value)

[Rick Rothstein \(MVP - VB\)]

Specifically (to match Mike's example)...

Range("A1").Value = StrConv(Range("A1").Value, vbProperCase)

where the predefined vbProperCase constant tells it to perform the proper
case conversion.

StrConv is quite a bit faster. 8 times faster, according to my
calculations.
