These functions are used in Excel when your Excel spreadsheet contains a lot of text. Unlike Microsoft Word, Excel does not change the case on its own. Excel Change Text Case
This tutorial will give you a look at three functions that allow you to easily change the cases of text in Excel: Upper, Lower, and Proper.
Upper case – Excel Change text Case
This function changes the text into upper cases. It converts all lower cases letter in a string to upper cases.
The Syntax to change the case to Upper case is =UPPER (text) where the text is the only parameter required to change the case. Here the text refers to the cell or text you want to change the case of.
Lower case – Excel change Text case
This function changes the text into lower cases. It converts all upper cases letter in a string to lower cases.
The Syntax to change the case to lower case is =LOWER (text) where the text is the only parameter required to change the case. Here the text refers to the cell or text you want to change the case of.
Proper case – Excel change Text case
This function is used to change the first letter of the word to capital and remaining all others to lower case.
The Syntax to change the case to proper case is =PROPER (text) where the text is the only parameter required to change the case. Here the text refers to the cell or text you want to change the case of.
How to Convert Text in String to Upper Case
Sometimes you need to convert the text into the upper string. So the steps to convert the text into upper cases as follow:
