I have a column (over 10,000 rows) with codes in it. I need to determine if the column contains one or more CAPITAL letters (vs all lowercase).

I consider myself fairly proficient in Excel, but I can not find any way to filter, sort, or fine (eg: IFNUMBER) cells that contain CAPS.

Note that the case sensitive sort does not work because I need to have a group of all cells that contain CAPS and that's not how the case sensitive sort works.

I'd appreciate any help on this!!
 
What is the output you desire?

Either a yes (contains caps) or no (does not contain caps); or do you want a list of cells that contain caps?

The first is exactly what I'm looking for..."Yes" if contains caps and "No" if it does not contain caps. Are you able to be my hero? :)

Hi

Use

=MIN(--EXACT(A1:A25,LOWER(A1:A25)))=0

and confirm with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.

Change that 25 accordingly.

can you help me? i dont know anything about excel... i have a list of names.
they are all in column A. some names are Leading Caps... and some are ALL CAPS.
is there a way to select all the ALL CAPS names and cut them out and put them in another column?

You'll need a helper column (probably) to do this.

Assuming your data is in column A starting at row2, add in a column somewhere and type the formula:

Code:
=EXACT(A2,UPPER(A2))

This will return true if all letter are in uppercase and false if they are not.

This worked perfectly!!! Thank you! I needed to filter out all CAP names vrs Proper Case names and adding a column and using your formula added True or False to that column - then I filtered on all the Trues!! Perfect!! Thank you again!
