Changing the case of text data

Hi everyone

I currently have a set of data which is all in upper-case text
characters.

Before I can merge the data with another column I need it so that the
first letter of each cell is in upper-case and the rest is in
lower-case.

e.g. I currently have LONDON and I need it to say London

Does anyone know if this is possible within Excel?

Many thanks for your help.

Hi fuzzyjon
This is one of the functions which you get with ASAP Utilities' free add-in,
along with tons of other useful stuff. Have a look here:
www.asap-utilities.com

Hope this helps.

If "LONDON" is in cell A1 the function =PROPER(A1) will give you "London".

If it is "LONDON BRIDGE" you will get "London Bridge".

Does this help?
 
Hi Andy

Thanks for your help.

I have also just come across another way to do this too.... using th
PROPER() function.

Cheers

Hi

It is worth checking out the add-in. It will do the job in place, rather
than using helper cells and there are lots of other interesting functions. I
have nothing to do with ASAP, by the way, I just like the add-in!!

Cheers - and glad you're sorted.
Andy.
