I've written a macro the compares the contents of two cells. My issues is that if the 2 cells contain the same information, but one is just in uppercase it says that the two cells are not equal. How can I write the code so that when the contents of the 2 cells contain the same informatio regardless of being uppercase or not, it returns that they are equal?
 

Excel Facts

Add Bullets to Range
Select range. Press Ctrl+1. On Number tab, choose Custom. Type Alt+7 then space then @ sign (using 7 on numeric keypad)
Option 1: turn them both into UCASE() or LCASE() before comparing them, so instead of:-
Code:
If Range("A1").Value=Range("X99").Value Then...
you do:-
Code:
If UCase(Range("A1"))=UCase(Range("X99")) Then...

Option 2: Head your code module with the compiler directive Option Compare Text which will make all text comparisons in the module non-case-sensitive.
