Numbers uppercase

In Numbers, I need to convert several cells to uppercase.


I cannot select all the cells and just "transform".

You can change the *display* of text to all caps this way:




Select the cells and choose Format > Font > Capitalization > All Caps from the menu.


That displays as all caps but doesn't affect the actual values in cells.


If you need to change the actual values in the cells you can use the =UPPER() function.

Hi Morten,


The ALL CAPS format changes the display, but does not change the characters (the ACSII code for "a" remains at 97).

The UPPER function changes the characters (the ASCII code for "A" is 65).




Depending upon what further text formulas you have, the ASCII value may make a difference, especially if you export to another app. For example, does Excel recognise the ALL CAPS display from Numbers?


Regards,

Ian.
