Once the data is in Excel it is no longer csv format.

I would use the PROPER function for names.

GORD DIBBEN in A1...............in B1 enter =PROPER(A1) to return Gord Dibben

Hi,

I just gave this a try, but I cant' seem to get the formula to apply. I
have a column (C) of names in all caps. In a blank cell, I typed
=PROPER(C2:C112) and then hit enter but it keeps giving me error messages.
Any help? Thanks!

PROPER won't work with multiple cells.

=PROPER(C1) in D1 then copy down by double-clicking on the fill handle of
D1

Then select column D and copypaste specialvaluesokesc

Delete column C

I wanted to sharpen my question a bit. I'm trying to apply PROPER to my
entire Excel table. Right now, I'm doing one column at a time, but I'd like
to find a way to select the entire table and have the PROPER function apply
proper text capitalization to any data field that has such text. Is there a
way to do that? Thanks!

Only with VBA

Sub Proper()
Dim Cell As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Cell In ActiveSheet.UsedRange
Cell.Formula = Application.Proper(Cell.Formula)
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
