**The PROPER function in Excel is a text function that capitalizes the first letter of each word in a given text string, while converting all other letters to lowercase. This function is useful when you want to standardize the capitalization of names, titles, or any text where the proper case is desired.**
The syntax for the PROPER function is as follows:
=PROPER(text)
Text: This is the text string or reference to a cell containing the text that you want to convert to proper case.
Here's an example of how to use the PROPER function:
Suppose cell A1 contains the text "john doe" in all lowercase, and you want to convert it to proper case (i.e., "John Doe"). You can use the PROPER function in cell B1 like this:
=B1(A1)
After entering this formula, cell B1 will display "John Doe."
**Keep in mind that the PROPER function does not recognize exceptions like "Mc" or "O'Brien" as uppercase letters, so it will capitalize the first letter after these as well. You may need to adjust the text manually in such cases if you want to follow specific naming conventions.**
