Convert first letter in each word to Upper case in Power Apps canvas apps.

As strange it may sound, if I ask this question to experienced Power Apps developers, the first thing that shall come to mind of many is to write some custom logic.

And I don’t blame anyone. After all it is virtually impossible to remember each and every function within Power Apps. With every release, we get some functions added to the library and unless you are using them frequently, you tend to lose track of it.

So here I was with a requirement. Convert the first letter of each word to upper case. Basically I had an address which I need to show in a proper casing format.

And I started writing in some array functions to take each letter, identify the first word and convert them to uppercase only. Honestly I was not aware that there is indeed a Proper function which takes care of the exact same thing.

Below screenshot is an example of Proper in action.

As you can see, I have typed in all the letter in capital. However Proper function was smart enough to convert give me the output with only the first letter of each word in capital.

Cool isn’t it? Hope this helped!
