    Post Identifying small letters at the beginning of words

    Hello,

    Got a quick Excel question to help me rename my files.

    Basically, I have all my music titles listed in Excel down column A. I want to find if there are any words beginning with a small letter so that I can capitalise it and fix it.

    I have tried using =proper(A1) in column B and then doing =A1=B1 to see if there's any difference, but that doesn't work because Excel counts small letters the same as capital letters!

    Thank you in advance.

    See the EXACT function; e.g., =EXACT(A1, PROPER(A1))
