    Question Changing letter case on mass

    Okay this may not be the normal excel type of question, but hopefully someone may be able to help?

    I have an Excel sheet where everything is TYPED IN CAPITALS.

    I could work through the alphabet and change each letter in turn using the find & replace function to get everything like this

    However I was wondering if there's a quick way to achieve lower case letters, but also to get the first letter only of each Word As A Capitol

    Can anyone help me please? And thanks in advance for reading and any help

    Have a look at the PROPER() function...

    You may be able to use it and then copy/paste special >> Values over the original data.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Hi Guy's,

    Thanks for your posts

    I tried the PROPER() way, but it was too simple for me as I couldn't get it to work? However.... I also tried the VB code and it worked So I'm well pleased.

    I'll have another play with the PROPER() code to try and see why I couldn't get it to work.

    Thanks again for your help
