Force Text to Upper Case or Proper Case. See Also Change Text to Upper/Proper Case

We can use Excel VBA code in the Private Module of the Worksheet Object to force any text entered to be UPPER case, or Proper case. To use either of the first 4 Excel VBA procedures below, right click on the Worksheet name tab, select View Code and in here paste one and one only of the 4 procedures directly below. Note that 2 of the procedures restricts the forcing of upper/proper case to a specified range on the Worksheet. The other 2 similar procedures will do the same but for the entire Worksheet.
