The code below works as a macro to change the worksheet name based on the value of a cell.
The problem is that the name appears in all lower case.
What adjustment is necessary to display the name in all Upper Case?

VBA Code:
Sub Worksheet_Rename_Tab()

With Range("B6")
If Len(.Value) = 0 Or Len(.Value) > 31 Then Exit Sub

Dim IllegalCharacter(1 To 7) As String, i As Integer
IllegalCharacter(1) = "/"
IllegalCharacter(2) = "\"
IllegalCharacter(3) = "["
IllegalCharacter(4) = "]"
IllegalCharacter(5) = "*"
IllegalCharacter(6) = "?"
IllegalCharacter(7) = ":"
For i = 1 To 7
If InStr(.Text, (IllegalCharacter(i))) > 0 Then
MsgBox "The formula in cell A1 returns a value containing a character that violates sheet naming rules." & vbCrLf & _
"Recalculate the formula without the ''" & IllegalCharacter(i) & "'' character.", _
48, "Not a possible sheet name !!"
Exit Sub
End If
Next i

Dim strSheetName As String, wks As Worksheet, bln As Boolean
strSheetName = (.Text)
On Error Resume Next
Set wks = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(strSheetName)
On Error Resume Next
If Not wks Is Nothing Then
bln = True
Else
bln = False
Err.Clear
End If

If bln = False Then
ActiveSheet.Name = strSheetName
ElseIf ActiveSheet.Name <> .Text Then
MsgBox "There is already a sheet named " & strSheetName & "." & vbCrLf & _
"Recalculate the formula in cell A1 to return a unique name."
End If

End With

End Sub
