Changing the case of text data
Hi everyone I currently have a set of data which is all in upper-case text characters. Before I can merge the data with another column I need it so that the first letter of each cell is in upper-case and the rest is in lower-case. e.g. I currently have LONDON and I need it to say London Does anyone know if this is possible within Excel? Many thanks for your help.

Changing the case of text data
If "LONDON" is in cell A1 the function =PROPER(A1) will give you "London".
If it is "LONDON BRIDGE" you will get "London Bridge". Does this help? -- Carlos "fuzzyjon" wrote in message ... Hi everyone I currently have a set of data which is all in upper-case text characters.

Changing the case of text data
Hi Andy Thanks for your help. I have also just come across another way to do this too.... using the PROPER() function. Cheers :) -- fuzzyjon ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fuzzyjon's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=34378 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=542110 |

Hi
It is worth checking out the add-in. It will do the job in place, rather than using helper cells and there are lots of other interesting functions. I have nothing to do with ASAP, by the way, I just like the add-in!! Cheers - and glad you're sorted. Andy. "fuzzyjon" wrote in message ... Hi Andy Thanks for your help.
