Excell should have a sentence case function like the UPPER() and LOWER()
functions. Word does this under format, chance case.

Excel is for numbers
Word is for text
See functions PROPER, UPPER & LOWER

best wishes

PROPER is not Sentence Case.

OP would have to use VBA for Sentence Case.


Sub Sentence_Case()
Dim myStr As String
Dim cel As Range
For Each cel In Selection
If cel.HasFormula = True Then Exit Sub
myStr = cel.Value
cel.Value = "=CapFirst(" & """" & myStr & """" & ")"
cel.Select
Selection.Copy
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlValues
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Next cel
End Sub


Function CapFirst(ByVal str As String) As String
Dim aRegExp As Object, aMatch As Object, allMatches As Object
Set aRegExp = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")
aRegExp.Pattern = "^[a-z]|\.( )*[a-z]"
aRegExp.Global = True
Set allMatches = aRegExp.Execute(str)
For Each aMatch In allMatches
With aMatch
Mid(str, .firstindex + 1 + .length - 1, 1) = _
UCase(Mid(str, .firstindex + 1 + .length - 1, 1))
End With
Next aMatch
CapFirst = str
End Function
