Upper-case all text in Excel 2003 spreadsheet

[Chris Hankin]

Hello,

Could someone please advise on how I can make Excel 2003 automatically
change all text to upper-case in my spreadsheet named "Register".

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris.

The simplest way is to select all cells and change to an ALL CAPS FONT like
Academy or Lithograph. Another method that may work for you is to copy/paste
the area into Word, change case to UPPER and copy/paste back to Excel. Excel
does not have this feature, so it can not do it for you.

To change existing text to upper case, use the following
procedure:


Sub AAA()
Dim Rng As Range
Application.EnableEvents = False
For Each Rng In ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells _
(xlCellTypeConstants, xlTextValues)
Rng.Value = UCase(Rng.Text)
Next Rng
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

To automatically convert data entry to upper case, use the
following event procedure in the Sheet's code module (right-click
the tab and choose View Code).

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.HasFormula = True Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then
Exit Sub
End If
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = UCase(Target.Text)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
