Something like this.
The cells containing uppercase letters are highlighted.

Any advise?
Thanks
You will need to adjust the references, but try this...
=EXACT(UPPER(H3),H3)
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you

1. what do you mean adjust the references?
2. is H3 referring to references?
if so, my COLUMN is up to 'JS' & my ROW is up to '515'. How should i indicate it?
3. Do i select "USE A FORMULA TO DETERMINE WHICH CELLS TO FORMAT"?
Thanks
EDIT:-
I use this but nothing happen.
=EXACT(UPPER(JS515),JS515)

I use this formula
=EXACT(UPPER(c5),c5)
i get this:-
The highlight do not seem right.

Im sorry, I assumed you were familar with CF
1. highlight the range you want to apply the conditional formatting to (If youer range is A2:J100, then that is the range you highlight)
2. on the home tab, styles, select CF
3. select new rule, select use formula
4. enter =EXACT(UPPER(A2),A2)
Because of how CF works, this will auto-adjust itself for each cell it is applied to, so for instance...
in A2 =EXACT(UPPER(A2),A2) becomes...
in A3 =EXACT(UPPER(A3),A3) becomes...
in B2 =EXACT(UPPER(B2),B2) becomes...
etc
Based on the sample you provided in post #7, if your range starts in A1, then that needs to be teh reference you use in the CF formula...
=EXACT(UPPER(A1),A1)

Change the CF formula to this...
=AND(H3<>"",EXACT(UPPER(H3),H3))
hi FDibbins.
What would be the formula if i want to highlight only blank cells instead?
Thanks
Based on that same sample...
=H3=""
I find the best way to figure these out, is to put the formula IN the worksheet itself, and formulate it to give either a TRUE or FALSE answer...CF only works on TRUE/FALSE. Once you have that sorted out, then copy/paste into the CF window
Excel has default conditional formatting rule to do so. You can find it in the conditional formatting box. Go to "Format only cells that contain" and select "blank" under format only cells with tab.
