Convert text to lower case
=LOWER(text)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
text |
The text that should be converted to lower case. |
=LOWER("Apple") // returns "apple"
=LOWER("APPLE") // returns "apple"
Numbers or punctuation characters inside a text string are unaffected:
=LOWER("XYY-020-KWP") // returns "xyy-020-kwp"
If a numeric value is given to LOWER, number formatting is removed. For example, if cell A1 contains the date June 26, 2021, date formatting will be l
=LOWER(A1) // returns "44373"
If necessary, you can use the TEXT function to work around this limitation. Use TEXT to convert the number to a text value, then pass that value into
=LOWER(TEXT(A1,"mmmm d, yyyy")) // returns "June 26, 2021"
