I'm extremely new Excel and VBA. I came across this amazing thread
https://www.mrexcel.com/board/threads/convert-to-proper-case-with-exceptions.475886/post-2351795
I'm currently using the VBA code referenced in this #4 post by Mike.

I'm trying to amend the CorrectCase function to skip strings that include an integer.
I'm pretty sure i just need to add an If statement within for For loop checking with the following function

VBA Code:
Function HasNumber(sIn As String) As Boolean
 HasNumber = sIn Like "*#*"
End Function

I'm hoping this will catch strings such as PL259 or MD5T or even MC-154

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
I solved my own question with an IF statement added to CorrectCaseOneWord
VBA Code:
Function CorrectCaseOneWord(inWord As String, caseListRange As Range) As String
    If Not HasNumber(inWord) Then
        With caseListRange
            If IsError(Application.Match(inWord, .Cells, 0)) Then
                CorrectCaseOneWord = Application.Proper(inWord)
            Else
                CorrectCaseOneWord = Application.Lookup(inWord, .Cells)
            End If
        End With
    End If
End Function
