The PROPER function in Google Sheets is used to capitalize the first letter of each word in a cell or range of cells. It is a simple and efficient way to format text without having to manually edit each cell.

To use the PROPER function in Google Sheets, follow these steps:

  • Select the cell where you want to apply the function, or highlight the range of cells you want to format.
  • Type the formula =PROPER(cell), replacing 'cell' with the address of the cell containing the text you want to format.
  • Press Enter or Return on your keyboard to apply the formula. The text in the selected cell(s) will now be formatted with the first letter of each word capitalized.

It is important to note that the PROPER function will only capitalize the first letter of each word. If you want to capitalize all the letters in a cell, you can use the UPPER function instead.
