capital letters to lowercase

[Xhawk57]

I have a list of proper nouns (names, addresses, ect.) that is in all capital
letters, I am looking for a formula that would capitalize the first letter of
each word and make the rest of the letters in the word lowercase.

example: JOHN SMITH 123 MAPLE LN
would become: John Smith 123 Maple Ln

any help would be greatly apprecitated.

=PROPER(A1) if you data were in A1.

If your string is in A1, use:

=Proper(Lower(A1))

Great, that did it thank you

=PROPER(A1) if you data were in A1.

=Proper(Lower(A1))

What is the point of using the LOWER command here? Why not just
=PROPER(A1) ?

Indeed! It was my fault. The Proper function do all the work.
