Hi Everyone,

I use the proper comand in vba like this

VBA Code:
WorksheetFunction.Proper(b.Value)

it does what i want and make the first letter a capital, but it capitalise after one of these " ' " so it changes king's to King'S
is there a way i can stop this?

thanks

Tony

Can a formula spear through sheets?
Use =SUM(January:December!E7) to sum E7 on all of the sheets from January through December
Hi, have you tried VBA's strConv() function instead of the worksheet function.

VBA Code:
StrConv(b.Value, vbProperCase)
