Put names into proper case — Manipulating NAMES in Excel

by

If you need to clean up names that are not in a proper case, you can use a simple formula based on PROPER functions.

Formula

=PROPER(name)

Explanation

In the example the formula in C5 is:

=PROPER(B5)

How this formula works

The PROPER function automatically reformats text so that all words are capitalized. At the same time, it lowercases all other text.

Worked Example:   How to extract nth word from text string in excel

If you also need to strip out extra spaces in the names, you can wrap PROPER in the TRIM function:

=TRIM(PROPER(name)

This will strip any leading and trailing spaces, and convert runs of spaces to a single space.
