The PROPER function in Microsoft Excel:
Capitalizes the first letter in a text string and any other letters in text that follow any character other than a letter. Converts all other letters to lowercase letters.
I have a spreadsheet that has hundreds of rows, each row with dozens of columns, and I want to apply the PROPER function (or a similar "capitalize the first letter of each word, lowercase the rest" transformation) to every cell, in-place. When I'm done, the old (all uppercase) values are no longer needed--I only need the transformed versions.
Is there a straightforward way to do this?
