My mind has gone blank, got 5 address lines that are all in capitals and need to convert them to only having capital letter on the first letter of each word.

What is the lookup/formula to do this?

Yes it is the way to do it, but when I input the cells that need to be replaced I either get a 0 or VALUE in the cells?

It is indeed =PROPER(syntax)

You can also do =PROPER(A1) for example to alter text in cell A1

Nathy, we all learnt how to find and replate in IT in year 6, im sure she thought of that?

She didnt do it because there is a formula to do it - remember, formulas like =SUM and shizzel?

And find and replace is supsetable to human error, and its just a long as doing it by hand.

Urgh. I refer to my prem lounge thread.
