I have an excel file I want all text that will be typed in the empty
cells should be upper case. So I have the formula in them and when I
type "msft" and hit enter it should give me "MSFT"

Hi Chusu,

Not sure you can do it that way. I'd think any formula you have in the
cell will be overwritten and destroyed when you type msft.

Alternatively, after doing all the typing you need to, you can run a
quick macro that changes all text to uppercase. Use this:

Sub upCase()

For Each cell In Selection
cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value)
Next cell

End Sub

All you need to do is select the range you want converted then run the
macro!

You can do that using UCase() in a Change event macro:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Column = 1 Then 'column A
Target.Value = UCase(Target.Value)
End If
End Sub

This example works on column A.

Stefi
