Hello, could someone please help with the following:

in column C of my workbook, I need an algorithm that makes the first
letter in the First Name in upper-case and the first letter in the Last
Name in upper-case.

Example: john green becomes John Green

The letters after the upper-case letter need to remain in lower-case as
shown in the example above.

Both the First name and Last name are in column C.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

Cheers,

Chris.

Look at the Proper worksheet function, eg place the following in col-D

=Proper(C1)

Correct any names that are still not right, when done pasteSpecial values
back to Col-C

Peter T
