Hi,
I have a table in Excel where the input is a mix of lowercase and uppercase letters. Is there a way to change the case like in Word without having to re-enter everything?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Considering that the concerned cells are in column A, enter in another column =LOWER(A1) and then copy down to the end of the data.

Then copy the column containing the formulas (text in lowercase) and perform a Paste Special Values on another sheet.
Have a nice day.

Thank you so much BIG "g".
It works wonderfully.
Thanks again.
But I didn't quite understand "special paste", what is it?

In this case, "Paste Special > Values" allows you to paste only the values of cells containing formulas, while a regular paste pastes everything.
You could thus recreate your table in lowercase, without keeping the uppercase columns.
Good luck.
