Hey guys,

Not sure if this is possible or not, but I figured that if anyone knew, it'd be someone on here.

Is there a way to make an entire column UPPERCASE without the use of VBA?
I am trying to avoid turning an xlsx into an xlsm.

Specifically, Column E is a yes/no column and should contain either 'Y' or 'N' in each cell of that column...however, if a user types in a 'y' or a 'n' i'm hoping to find a way to have those inputs automatically change to caps.

I see the simple UPPER(cell or range) command, but I am wondering if there is any other way.
Perhaps with conditional formatting?

Thanks in advance!

You could use Data Validation, to prevent them from entering anything other than Y or N.

Thanks Fluff! I thought about Data Validation as well.
It looks like VBA is really my only other option here haha

If Dv won't work for you, then VBA is the only solution that I know of.
