hi
assuming JOHNEY WALKER is in A2.
=proper(A2)

you can then copy the formula and paste special values in A2.
or if you have a column of names to converte, you might add a helper column
next to your name column. copy the formula down. then copy and paste special
values on the helper column - delete the original column.

regards

Use =PROPER(A1)

Also just for information sake
=UPPER(A1) to convert to Upper Case
= LOWER(A1) to convert to Lower Case
