Hello I need the first letter after a comma to be lower case, any help is more than welcome :)
 

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

I am with AliGW on this... you are going to have to show several examples of the kind of text you are dealing with. One thing I am particularly interested in is if there can be more than one comma in the text.

@Rick Rotstein, is only the first comma there will be more than one comma but normally we use lower case after comma, with minimum exceptions. Thank you for your time.

@admiral100, this formula did not work :(
This is an example of what I need:
The man is old, He is 90 years old = The man is old, he is 90 years old

@AliGW, sorry for the lack of information:

=substitute(a1,mid(a1,find(",",a1)+2,1),lower(mid(a1,find(",",a1)+2,1)))
If you change your formula to this, it will not error out if the sentence does not contain a comma...

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,MID(A1,FIND(",",A1&",")+2,1),LOWER(MID(A1,FIND(",",A1&",")+2,1)))

Here is a shorter formula (one less function call) that will work the same...

=REPLACE(A1,FIND(",",A1&",")+2,1,LOWER(MID(A1,FIND(",",A1&",")+2,1)))
