    Vlookup and uncapitalised/capitalised issue

    This works fine unless someone adds a team name uncapitalised as FR9 below:

    How can i get around this problem? Can i make the vlookup look for uncapitalised versions of the team name? or create a macro that capitalises all values within a column?

    Thanks for any help

    Hi munkee,

    can you please post a data sample? Excel is notoriously carefree with upper and lower case and VLOOKUP does not distinguish between case at all. Therefore, there must be some other issue in the data....

    cheers
