Capitalize first letter of text in MS Excel

I have a column of text in MS Excel that is in all caps.  Is there an easy way to change it, so that only the first letter of each cell is capitalized.

You can use a formula in another column.  For instance, if column A has all caps, then in column B you
can use =PROPER(A1), which will produce "This Is A Test";
or you can use =LOWER(A1), which will produce "this is a test"

You can use this formula to convert ONLY first letter of the cell to Upper case and ALL others to lower

=CONCATENATE(UPPER(LEFT(A1,1)),LOWER(RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-1)))
