This is probably a simple question, but I have searched the archives and cannot find the answer... How can I make the first letter of every work a capital letter?

Thanks for any help!

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
Ok here is some sample data.

the finished work is put on a post then embedded on a web page - here is the finished job - http://www.seahorseaquariums.com/store/content/49/New-Arrivals/
as you can see I have the capital's in lowercase but not the first letter

I can send this in XLS but can not see how to attached workbooks.

A1 contains text.

=LEFT(TRIM(A1);1) & LOWER(RIGHT(TRIM(A1);LEN(TRIM(A1))-1))

Now I am going to sound stupid.

Where do I put this line of code in XLS?

I have the worksheet with it starting at A1. Is this a function ? I need some more help.

Yes, it's a function. Type it in cell B1 and fill down.

Still no Joy.

I ahve all my data in A1 to A26

in B1 I paste your code in does not work - shows it all as text

if I add a function whist on B1 it looks for LEN - then I get error.

Not sure what I am doing wrong here.
