Default How do I reformat my database from all uppercase to proper?

I have downloaded a list of names and it is in all uppercase. I'm sure that
it can be converted in excel to PROPER, but I have tried and tried and cannot
make it happen. Anybody help me?

Thanks,

Princey

Princey

Use a helper column and enter the function

=PROPER(A1)

and copy down as far as you need
