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

Instead of "=" we can use "+" to arrive the formula.

After arrived the formula its shows like "=+Sheet3!L26 "

"=+Sheet3!L26 " or "+Sheet3!L26 " both are same, both formula will give same answers!!

If u hit " CTR+{ " that will show the reference of sheet3

Its a formula pulling in the value from Sheet3 cell L26.

Back in the days of Lotus you could start a formula with + and some people still do that to this day, since that is what they were use to.
