    Lowercase and uppercase convertion

    I was given an EXEL document where every word is in uppercase and I need to convert everything to lowercase, except the first letter which should be uppercase. Example: "THIS IS A SENTENCE" should be "This is a sentence". Is there a way to do it automatically?

    Respectfully,
    Jorge Maldonado

    Using "Text to Columns - fixed width" I seperated the cell into columns A and B.
    The formulas in columns D and F should give you what you want.
