I've created a VBA Macro to look at a string of input text in the cell E3, split it into individual characters and then VLookup those characters against a table of individual character pixel widths, which is added to the code using a named range, "pw_Table".
The pixel-widths for each letter are then summed and displayed in a cell below the text input box - "Cells(4,5)". Hitting return is meant to show the combined pixel-width total for the complete string.
The problem is that it is not being case sensitive and is using the same VLookup value for both upper and lower case characters.
All the manuals I've seen say VBA is case sensitive on VLookup, and all I can find are ways to get around this.
For my issue, however, the VLookup must be case sensitive to make sure I get the correct pixel width for each letter, for example, "c" is 9 pixels wide, "C" is 13.
I have tried reordering the upper and lower case characters in the table to see if that made a difference, but it only uses the first values it encounters for each letter of the alphabet, whether they be upper- or lower-case.
I thought that I might use INDEX, MATCH, and EXACT, but couldn't see how to implement that in VBA.
This is the Macro code ...
Private Sub ReadCharacter()
cell_value = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Pixel-widths").Range("E3")
Character_Value = 0
For rep = 1 To Len(cell_value)
Character = Mid(cell_value, rep, 1)
On Error GoTo MyErrorHandler
Character_Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(Character, [pw_Table], 2, 0)
Pixel_Width = Pixel_Width + Character_Value
MyErrorHandler:
Character_Value = 10
Resume Next
Next rep
Cells(4, 5) = Pixel_Width
End Sub
I had some issues with numbers, with VBA reporting Run-time Error 1004, but I bodged this by adding an error trap because all the numerals from 0-9 are 10 pixels wide.
I simply can't see why VBA is breaking its own rules.
Vlookup isnt case sensitive.
ive found this function that "simulates" a vlookup case sensitive.
Function CaseVLook(FindValue, TableArray As Range, Optional ColumnID As Integer = 1) As Variant
Dim xCell As Range
Application.Volatile
CaseVLook = "Not Found"
For Each xCell In TableArray.Columns(1).Cells
If xCell = FindValue Then
CaseVLook = xCell.Offset(0, ColumnID - 1)
Exit For
End If
Next
End Function
to use it just call it CaseVLook(F1,A1:C7,3)

good luck
Here's another way...
Character_Value = Evaluate("INDEX(" & Range("pw_Table").Address(, , , True) & _
",MATCH(TRUE,EXACT(INDEX(" & Range("pw_Table").Address(, , , True) & ",0,1),""" & Character & """),0),2)")
Hope this helps!
