Best Ways to Capitalize in Excel: Our Shortcut

There are a few different ways to capitalize text in Excel, depending on your specific needs. Here are some of the best ways to capitalize in Excel:

  1. UPPER function: Converts all text to uppercase. For example, =UPPER("hello world") would return "HELLO WORLD".

  2. LOWER function: Converts all text to lowercase. For example, =LOWER("HELLO WORLD") would return "hello world".

  3. PROPER function: Capitalizes the first letter of each word. For example, =PROPER("hello world") would return "Hello World".

  4. Flash Fill: Automatically recognizes patterns in your data and applies capitalization accordingly. For example, if you have a list of names in lowercase and uppercase letters and you want to convert them all to proper case, you can simply start typing the desired output in a new column next to the data, press Ctrl+E (or Command+E on a Mac), and Excel will automatically fill in the rest of the cells with the properly capitalized names.

  5. Shortcut Keys: You can use shortcut keys to quickly capitalize text in Excel. For example, to convert selected text to uppercase, press "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "U". To convert selected text to lowercase, press "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "L". And to capitalize the first letter of each word in selected text, press "Ctrl" + "Shift" + "P".

These are just a few of the ways to capitalize text in Excel. The method you choose will depend on the specific needs of your project.
