"proper" function excel wksht
 

Why would the "proper" funtion for capitalizing work on some columns of my
worksheet and not on others. Some display the proper Capitalized text, other
columns just display the formula. Using same formula in both places.

The cells the formula are in are formatted as text

Most likely cause is that the "some" columns were pre-formatted as text which
will make the formulas text.

Select one of these and F2 then ENTER to see if results change.

If you have many of these to do use EditReplace.

Select all cells and EditReplace

What: =
With: =

This coerces the text to real formulas.
