case conversion
[0111]The case conversion algorithm is a unique aspect of the AutoComplete process and gives it the ability to handle data items with mixed upper and lower case characters. In general, the AutoComplete algorithm is case insensitive during the data entry process. But, when a suggested completion has been accepted, the AutoComplete process will adjust the capitalization of the data item to be consistent with matching entries. The purpose behind the case conversion is to provide consistency for the data items in the spreadsheet. If a data item is being entered in lower case, and a matching completed data item is found that is in upper case, then the matching item will be displayed as a suggested completion. The portion of the suggested completion that matches the partial data item (ignoring the capitalization) will be shown in normal video and in the capitalization that the partial data item was entered. The portion of the suggested completion that does not include the partial data ite...
