In today’s tutorial we’re going to go through how to change lowercase to uppercase in Excel and we’ll be talking about cells containing the mix of upper- and lower-case letters, too.
Let’s start!

If you’d like to change lowercase letters in a cell to uppercase, click on the cell to select it first. Then type in the equal sign and start typing out the function ‘UPPER’.
Click on the suggestion and carry on by defining the cell that contains the text you’d like to convert into uppercase.
Here it is the text in the cell B3, so we’ll click on B3, close the brackets, press Enter and here we go – all uppercase now!
If needed, you can copy the function through drag and drop to the rest of the rows and change the lowercase letters into uppercase for all the data.
Now, if you change anything in the source cell, the change will be reflected in the converted text.
This happens because we used a function to convert the text into uppercase, which we can see if we click into the cell C3.
But what if we need to store only the values, the converted texts themselves, and we don’t want to keep the function in the data table? Well, that’s easy to do.
Let’s select the converted data and use the control key [Ctrl] and C to copy the contents of the cells.
Now, we use ‘Paste’ here at the top to simply paste them in the same place, but we need to go for the option ‘Values’.
Through this we make sure that all the cells contain the converted text only.
