Help w/ the PROPER function
I have a worksheet w/ all caps & I need to change it so that the first letter of each word is capitalized. I used Excel Help and it said to use the PROPER function, except I can't seem to make that work. Any help? Thanks. -- arneson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arneson's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=37111 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=568438 |

Help w/ the PROPER function
The PROPER function is used like so..........
Assume Column A is ALL CAPS In B1 enter =PROPER(A1) to return All Caps Copy B1 down column B or double-click on the fill handle. Copy column B and paste specialvalueOKEsc Delete column A If you have a great many of these to do you could use VBA macro which would change them all at once, in place without the formulas to get rid of later. If you wish the macro, post back.
