This will open up the power query editor where we can apply our text case transformations. Select the data we want to transform ➜ go to the Data tab ➜ select From Table/Range. With power query we can transform the case into lower, upper and proper case. Power query is all about data transformation, so it’s sure there is a way to change the case of text in this tool. We can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + E for flash fill.įlash fill will work for many types of simple data transformations including changing text between lower case, upper case and proper case. Enter the example data ➜ highlight both the examples and cells that need to be filled ➜ go to the Data tab ➜ press the Flash Fill command found in the Data Tools section.
We can also access flash fill from the ribbon. We can accept this suggested filled data by pressing Enter. When Excel has enough examples to figure out the pattern, it will show the suggested data in a light grey font. We need to type out a couple of examples of the results we want. We only need to provide a couple examples of the results we want, and flash fill will fill in the rest.įlash fill can only be used directly to the right of the data we’re trying to transform. Using Flash Fill To Change Text Caseįlash fill is a tool in Excel that helps with simple data transformations. Press Ctrl + C to copy the range of cells ➜ press Ctrl + Alt + V to paste special ➜ choose Values from the paste options. This can be done by copying the range of formulas and pasting them as values with the paste special command. Copy And Paste Formulas As ValuesĪfter using the Excel formulas to change the case of our text, we may want to convert these to values. The function will evaluate to text that is all proper case where each word starts with a capital letter and is followed by lower case letters. The PROPER function takes one argument which is the bit of Text we want to change into proper case. The function will evaluate to text that is all upper case.
The UPPER function takes one argument which is the bit of Text we want to change into upper case letters. The function will evaluate to text that is all lower case. The LOWER function takes one argument which is the bit of Text we want to change into lower case letters. There’s a whole category of Excel functions to deal with text, and these three will help us to change the text case. These are the functions we can use in any worksheet in Excel. The first option we’re going to look at is regular Excel functions. Step 2: Click the Home tab at the top of the window.In this post, we’re going to look at using Excel functions, flash fill, power query, DAX and power pivot to change the case of our text data. Step 1: Open a document in Microsoft Word 2013. The other letters that would traditionally be lowercase letters are instead displayed as smaller versions of their capital letter form. Note that actual capitalized letters (the ones that you type by holding the Shift key or by using Caps Lock) will still be their normal size. At the end of this article we will show a sample of what this looks like so you can see if it is the desired result. By completing the steps in this guide you will be able to start typing in small caps in Microsoft Word. The steps in this article were performed in Microsoft Word 2013. You can even apply small caps to existing text if you would like to convert it by making one small adjustment to the process. Our tutorial below will show you where to find this setting so that you can start typing in small caps. But some scenarios call for you to use small caps in Word, which are smaller versions of the capital versions of letters.įortunately this is something that you can accomplish by changing a font option within Word.
When you type in a document in Microsoft Word using the default settings, you will get a mixture of capital and lowercase letters. There is a “Set as Default” button that you could click before “OK” if you wanted to make the settings on this menu the new default options.
