Default formula to convert a worksheet from upper case to proper

I'm having difficulty with the formula to convert my worksheet form upper
case to proper. I'm using =PROPER(A2:A102), but it's creating a circular
reference and i'm not sure how to get around that. Please help!!!!!!

That is probably because you formula is in one of those cells, so it is
trying to refer to itself.

Put =PROPER(A2) in cell B2, copy down to B102, Copy B2:B102, goto
EditPasteSpecial, and select Values, OK, then delete column A.
