beginner question re =PROPER(A1) command
I have a list of names and addresses in columns and have used the
=PROPER(A1) command to change the allcaps columns to be correctly capitalised words . Question is how can I just remove the columns which are allcaps and just be left with the correctly capitalised ones? Using the formula above, of course I cannot delete them as the formula is dependant on the existence of the original. |

beginner question re =PROPER(A1) command
With
A1:A10 containing text B1:B10 containing your PROPER formulas Try this: Select the range of PROPER formulas (B1:B10) From the Excel Main Menu: <edit<copy Select the first text value (A1) <edit<paste special....Check: Values......Click [OK] (now the formulas have been converted to their text values) Then you can either delete the column with the PROPER formulas or just erase those cells. Does that help? Post back if you have more questions. Regards, Ron Microsoft MVP - Excel "-keevill-" wrote in message ...

Copy the range of cells containing the result of your formula.
Edit Paste Special/ Values. That replaces the formula by its result, so that you can delete the original column if you wish to do so. -- David Biddulph "-keevill-" wrote in message ...
