    insert State name exactly same as dropdown list

    Hi,
    I made dropdown list column B6 to last row for state abbreviation like NY, CA , and so on.
    But some users use the same letter but using lowercase like ny, ca, and so on. I can't stop them.
    Later when I filter data, I will get problems.
    How can I force users to use dropdown list?

    I used input message in Data validation and error message in Data validation too, but that can't keep users from inserting lowercase letters.

    Thanks
