Default Changing text case in entire database column from JOHN to John

Look at PROPER function:

In helper column(s) put:

=PROPER(A2) assuming data in column A and copy down as required.

Then Copy & Paste Special=Values (the latter to either helper or original
column) and delete redundant column(s)
