Upper case

Not by formatting, but you can add event code behind it

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value)

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.

Hi Bob
thanks for the help, quick question, is there any way to modify this code to
exclude a specific column i.e column 'C'?

Yeah, not hard.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If .Column <> 3 Then
.Value = UCase(.Value)
End If
End With

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

A slight variation, so that formulas don't get wiped

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If .Column <> 3 Then
If Not .HasFormula Then
.Value = UCase(.Value)
End If
End If
End With

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

hi
new to excel building so please bare with me. is there any way to format a
worksheet so that any data entered is automatically converted to upper case?

Not by formatting, but you can add event code behind it

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)

On Error GoTo ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value)

ws_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

'This is worksheet event code, which means that it needs to be
'placed in the appropriate worksheet code module, not a standard
'code module. To do this, right-click on the sheet tab, select
'the View Code option from the menu, and paste the code in.
