Hi All,
What Am I doing wrong here in this formula?? I want to match my Time "7:15" with Range A2:A5. Sould I put time in double quotes or should not use quotes for time.?? the Formula below gives me an error although 7:15 exists in the range.
AB
7:15=MATCH("7:15",(A2:A5)
8:15
15:45
9:30

How to change case of text in Excel?
Use =UPPER() for upper case, =LOWER() for lower case, and =PROPER() for proper case. PROPER won't capitalize second c in Mccartney
Additional to Steve's suggestion:

Be aware the way: if you've formatted the cells containing timevalues as times; they could create a possible "not found" or "#N/A" caused by the difference in seconds or if there's a date in front which is not shown.
