Peter,

I think your first suggestion is missing a ")". I'm thinking it should be:
=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1))&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)

Regards,
Paul

Like this:

=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1)&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)

This leaves the rest of the string unchanged and capitalises the first
letter. You may like to add this amendment:

=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1)&LOWER(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1))

which will ensure that the rest of the string is lower case.

Hope this helps.

Pete
