I am using the following formula to detect if the referenced cell has each word capitalised, however, I also need to to take any hyphenated word as one word ie (Horse-box) should be recognised as one word, and not two
Excel Formula:
=IF(SUBSTITUTE(I2,PROPER(I2),"x")<>"x","Error","Correct")

Horse BoxCorrect
Horse boxError
Horse BoxCorrect
Horse-boxCorrect
HorseboxCorrect
horse boxError
horse BoxError
 
How about
Excel Formula:
=IF(EXACT(SUBSTITUTE(I2,"-",""),PROPER(SUBSTITUTE(I2,"-",""))),"Correct","Error")

I think that is what the OP wants to avoid by treating it as a single word, not two.
