Is there a way to set a cell so that when you enter letters they are always in capital letter form?
 

Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
I don't know.
However, if there isn't a way then you could always just use the =UPPER() formula on the cells after they've been entered.

Hope this helps.

You can use data validation to restrict the entry to upper case. This would not allow the user to enter a value until it was in upper case.

You can also input your own error message that tells them what to do.

You can modify this. Regards, Marc

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
'Target is an argument which refers to the range being changed
If Target.Column = 3 Then
'this check is to prevent the procedure from repeatedly calling itself
If Not (Target.Text = UCase(Target.Text)) Then
Target = UCase(Target.Text)
End If
End If
End Sub
