How to Caps lock in Excel
When entering data in Excel, you may find yourself typing in capital letters more often than small letters. In such cases, it may be more efficient to apply CapsLock so that capital letters can be entered by default, rather than pressing Shift for a long time to enter capital letters. Some people also unknowingly press CapsLock and are only able to type capital letters. This section explains how to apply and remove CapsLock.
