# Change text casing

> The **Change text** casing step converts the text in any column to a selected case type.

## Input/output

Our input data is customer information that displays first and last names in all uppercase. We can use the **Change text casing** step to turn our first and last names into title case.

As seen in our output data below, this step made our "first\_name" and "last\_name" columns change into title case.

## Custom settings

The first thing to do when you connect data to the **Change text casing** step is to select the column(s) you'd like to 'Recase'. You can select as many columns as you need.

Then, you will select the desired 'Case Type;. The available case types are:

* Upper Case (THIS IS UPPER CASE)
* Lower Case (this is lower case)
* Title Case (This is Title Case)
* Sentence Case (This is sentence case)
* Proper Case (This Is Proper Case)
* Snake Case (this\_is\_snake\_case)
* Camel Case (thisIsCamelCase)
* Train Case (This-Is-Train-Case)
* Kebab Case (this-is-kebab-case)

## Helpful tips

* This step can only change one case type at a time. If you'd like to change different columns to different case types, you can do this by chaining multiple **Change text casing** steps together.
