proper case using Microsoft Office Professional 2003
I have a column in excel with names that show for example WHITE, MARY I
want to change the names in the column to show the last name in one column and the first name in the second column. I also want to change from all caps to just the first initial in the last name and first name capitalized. Also, can I change the whole column at once? |

Are you referring to wanting to do this in Excel, firstly? You can use Text to columns, parse the data and use the LEFT function to amend the case. Let me know HTH :-D |

proper case using Microsoft Office Professional 2003
First I changed the data by typing =Proper(A2) in cell B2 and then copied the
formula down through the column. Then I used the text to columns. Is there a quicker way?
