Default convert text to sentence case

Jacqueline,

There is no sentence case in Excel, there's Upper, Lower and Proper. The
latter is probably closest to what you want and you use

=Proper(a1) where a1 is the string but this capitalises the first letter of
every word.

If you only have a single sentence you could get away with

=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1))&LOWER(MID(A1,2,LEN(A1)))

Which capitalises the first letter only, After that you need a macro so post
back if neither of these will do.

Is there a way to convert all cap text to sentence case in Excel. I have to
dump data from one database into an Excel spreadsheet, where the data is
scrubed and then appended to a table in another database.

The data comes from the first database in all caps! Any help is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks
