Combining field values with disregard to capitalization

Hello I am reading data in from an excel sheet.

I have a field labeled 'Title' and there are values that are in all capitals and some that are not. Qlik is not combining these values. 

Example of values: 'PROCUREMENT, LL' or 'Procurement, LL'

I have tried Capitalize(Title); Upper(Title); Lower(Title) in the load script and none of the listed is working.

Perhaps I misread your post, but - why would Qlik combine two rows just because they have an identical value in one specific field?

If you use e.g.

Load Distinct Upper(Title)

From YourTable;

Then duplicate values of Title should be removed, but based on your description that doesn't seem to be the case?

I don't necessarily want to combine the two rows; I want Qlik to identify the field value as the same despite the case of the letters.

If there are two rows like this:

Title = Procurement, LL; Amount = $4

Title = PROCUREMENT, LL; Amount = $7

Then I would want to sum the amount across the title. Well Procurement, LL and PROCURMENT, LL are the same title just different capital case so I would want the amount to be $11. But right now its treating them as two different cases.

Like stated above, Upper(Title) does not work. Its keeping both as separate and not working.

Your Upper() approach should work.

Please post some sample data and your load statement to demonstrate the issue.
