Change from Lower to Upper Case in Excel

1. Insert a new blank column to the right of your data.
2. Use a formula such as =UPPER(D2). To convert to lower case, use =LOWER(). To convert to Proper case, use =PROPER().
3. Copy the temporary formula down to all rows by double-clicking the fill handle.
4. The entire range of new formulas will be selected. Press Ctrl+C to copy.
5. Press the left arrow to move to the original data. Right-click and choose Paste Values.

6. You can now delete the temporary column D.

Additional Details: I to bring up the “W” program again, but here is another place where Microsoft Word could make this easier. If you had an entire table that needs converting, select the whole table, paste to a blank word document, then use the Change Case dropdown in the Home tab.

After the conversion is done, copy from Word and paste back to Excel.

Microsoft Word offers a Aa drop-down menu with Sentence Case, lowercase, UPPERCASE, Capitalize Each Word and tOGGLE cASE

Rank Function

How to Use the RANK Function If you give the RANK function a number, and a list of numbers, it will tell you the rank of that number in the list, either in ascending or descending order. For example, in the screen shot below, there is a list of 10 student test scores, in cells B2:B11. To find the rank of the the first student's score in cell B2, enter this formula in cell C2: =RANK(B2,$B$2:$B$11) Then, copy the formula from cell C2 down to cell C11, and the scores will be ranked in descending order. RANK Function Arguments There are 3 arguments for the RANK function: number : in the above example, the number to rank is in cell B2 ref : We want to compare the number to the list of numbers in cells $B$2:$B$11 . Use an absolute reference ($B$2:$B11), instead of a relative reference (B2:B11)so the referenced range will stay the same when you copy the formula down to the cells below order : (optional) This argument tells Excel whether to rank the list in ascending or descending o...

Compare two columns with Go To Special

In the figure below, say that you want to find any changes between column A and column D. Select the data in A2:A9 and then hold down the Ctrl key while you select the data in D2:D9. Select, Home, Find & Select, Go To Special. Then, in the Go To Special dialog, choose Row Differences. Click OK. Only the items in column A that do not match the items in column D are selected. Use a red font to mark these items, as shown below. Caution This technique works only for lists that are mostly identical. If you insert one new row near the top of the second list, causing all future rows to be offset by one row, each of those rows is marked as a row difference

Vlookup to the Left with Index and Match function

What if your lookup value is to the right of the information that you want VLOOKUP to return? Conventional wisdom says VLOOKUP cannot handle a negative column number in order to go left of the key. One solution is =VLOOKUP(I7,CHOOSE({1,2},G1:G5,F1:F5),2,0) . However, I prefer to use MATCH to find where the name is located and then use INDEX to return the correct value.
