    Converting to Uppercase by selecting a Column?

    Hi,

    How can I make the columns in the RECORDS TAB in column A in the attached worksheet to convert to all UPPER CASE letters without having to re-enter each word by using the CAPS LOCK key?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi darpa01,

    On another sheet, use the UPPER function to look at column A, then copy & paste > Special > Values.

    Cheers,

    Thanks.

    But I tried the UPPER function for my time stamp for Apr, but does not work. So how can I make the Apr in the attached xls sheet (in the Records tab) to make the Month all uppercase?

    It seems that this does not work since I have the =NOW() in that cell.

    Please explain the steps for making the Month (in my time stamp) uppercase?

    Thx again.

    Maybe you could use

    =UPPER(TEXT(NOW(),"HH:MM:SS DDMMMYY"))

    Oh....your great!!!! thanks.

    Now, what if I want to use the TIME ZONE function like this to the UPPER function you gave me?

    I know the Time Zone firmula which is this here
    =NOW()-TIME(1,0,0)

    But how can I use this with the UPPER function formual you just gave me above?

    Suppose my time zone has an OFFSET of -1 (see above) from ZULU or UTC, how can I use this with the UPPER FUNCTON you just gave?

    Thx.
