    Upper case only, in data validation?

    Hello,

    I want to limit the characters that can be entered into a cell.

    Only the following characters are allowed:
    - A B C D E F G H J K

    I created a list and used data validation, but the system allows lower case letters to be entered.

    How can I set the data validation so only the characters shown above are allowed, all caps, but also including the "-" character?

    I'm using Excel 2000.

    Thanks for helping me.

    Hello,

    you could use a custom data validation formula

    =NOT(ISERROR(FIND($A$1,"-ABCDEFGHJK")))

    cheers
