    Re: Excel formula to start with upper case after dot

    =Proper(A1), assuming your data are in A1. Is there any reason why football has to have a capital?

    Hi Kennedy,

    I know PROPER but it would make upper case for all words not only "AFTER DOT" . As for Football is my fault. supposed to be lower case because of not after dot.


    PROPER would make it like this
    Adam Is A Football Player. He Is A Great Player. Many Of Big Club Would Like To Sign Him. He Has Won Many Trophies

    I want like this
    Adam is a football player. He is a great player. Many of big club would like to sign him. He has won many trophies


    The above only sample and I want to make it applicable for unlimited number of "Dot"

    Sorry - much more complicated that I thought at a quick read. I'll have a think. Not easy, i suspect...

    does it means that Excel have no function do like this?

    If formula cannot, will Macro do that? Since you are a Forum Expert, please advise me

    One enhancement to Debraj Roy's excellent solution - to put the spaces back in.
