Capitalize Only the First Letter of a Sentence Instantly in Microsoft Excel


There are several ways to capitalize only the first letter of a sentence instantly in Microsoft Excel. Here are some of the methods that you can try:

  • You can use the PROPER function, which capitalizes the first letter of each word in a text value. For example, if you have the sentence "this is a test" in cell A1, you can use the formula `=PROPER(A1)` in another cell to get "This Is A Test". You can also use this function to convert all uppercase text to proper case, such as "THIS IS A TEST" to "This Is A Test". You can learn more about the PROPER function from [this article](^4^) or [this video](^1^).
  • You can use a combination of UPPER, LEFT, RIGHT, and LEN functions to capitalize only the first letter of the first word in a sentence, and keep the rest of the text unchanged. For example, if you have the sentence "this is a test" in cell A1, you can use the formula `=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1))&RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)` in another cell to get "This is a test". You can learn more about this method from [this article](^6^) or [this video](^2^).
  • You can use a combination of LOWER, REPLACE, UPPER, and LEFT functions to capitalize only the first word in a sentence, and convert the rest of the text to lowercase. For example, if you have the sentence "THIS IS A TEST" in cell A1, you can use the formula `=REPLACE(LOWER(A1),1,1,UPPER(LEFT(A1,1)))` in another cell to get "This is a test". You can learn more about this method from [this article](^8^).

I hope this helps you with your task. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. 😊
