Not Proper!
 
Hey

I've been using the proper function this morning and its not working for
some reason.

Cell B3 contains the word: MISS
I want cell C3 to contain the word: Miss
So, in cell C3 I typed: =proper(B3)

But it didn't work. Cell C3 has =proper(B3) in it. Not Miss.

Any ideas?

Perhaps,

Tools|Options|View and un-check formulas.

C3 was probably formatted as text, unknown to you. Just format C3 as either
general or number, then click inside the formula bar, press ENTER to
re-confirm.
