PROPER Formula Syntax
Example Use Case
Capitalizing the first letter of each word in text
Understanding the PROPER Formula
The PROPER function in Excel capitalizes the first letter of each word in a text string, leaving the rest lowercase. It’s a formatting tool for neatening text—like names or titles—for polished presentation.
PROPER("hello world") returns 'Hello World'. It takes a single text argument, adjusting case word-by-word—ideal for standardizing inconsistent text entries.
Why Use PROPER?
PROPER tidies text—think proper nouns or headings. Its word-level capitalization ensures a professional look, simplifying cleanup of mixed-case data for display or reports.
Example with Sample Data
| Text | Formula | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 'hello world' | =PROPER("hello world") | Hello World |
| 'JOHN DOE' | =PROPER("JOHN DOE") | John Doe |
| 'tEsT' | =PROPER("tEsT") | Test |
PROPER polishes: 'hello world' to 'Hello World'. It’s a text polisher.
