Change the Case of Text in Excel

Steve Collins — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:45:33 +0000

Text copied or imported onto a spreadsheet may not be capitalized the way you want. Or if several different people work on the same spreadsheet you may get some people typing in all caps while others use normal capitalization. Excel doesn't have a Change Case button like Word does, but you don't have to copy your text to Word to change case and copy it back. Excel has three functions, UPPER, LOWER, and PROPER that you can use to change the case of text.

Fixing the payroll error “Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation”

In Sage 50/Peachtree the error "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" means that there is a problem in the user-maintained tax table. It may mean that the file was damaged. But if the error appeared after a tax update was installed there is another likely explanation.
