To change small letters to capital letters in Excel, use the built-in function UPPER.

Steps to change small letters to capital letters in Excel:

  • Insert a new column next to the column containing the text you want to convert.
  • In the new column, enter the formula =UPPER(A2) where A2 is the cell reference of the text you want to convert.
  • Press Enter to convert the text in A2 to uppercase.
  • Fill the formula down the column by dragging the small square handle of the formula cell to cover the rows you want to convert.
  • Optionally, copy the converted results, then paste as values over the original data to replace the text with uppercase values only.
  • You can delete the helper column if no longer needed.

Additional tips:

  • Excel also has the LOWER() function to convert text to lowercase.
  • The PROPER() function capitalizes the first letter of each word.
  • There is no direct "Change Case" button like in Word, so formulas are the best built-in method.
  • Alternatively, you can use the shortcut Shift + F3 to toggle case in text, but it works on selected text rather than cells.

This method efficiently converts all lowercase letters in your data to uppercase letters using the UPPER() function.
