Convert to Title case in R dataframe column

To convert a column in R to title case we use str_to_title() function of “stringr” package. Let’s see how to convert to title case or proper case in R with an example.

Let’s first create the dataframe.

df1 = data.frame(State = c('Arizona AZ','Georgia GG', 'Newyork NY','Indiana IN','Florida FL'), 
                 Score=c(62,47,55,74,31))
df1

So the dataframe will be
