Find the UPPERCASE letter in a string
Unlike Teethless mama's offering, this formula...
=SUMPRODUCT(ISNUMBER(FIND(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("A$1 :A"&LEN(A1))),1),"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"))*RO W(INDIRECT("A$1:A"&LEN(A1))))
doesn't require a helper column. In addition, although not as compact as
Bernie's formula, it does not require Ctrl+Shift+Enter to commit it (just
use the Enter key).

The text string in my cell consists of lowercase alpha and numeric
characters
with the exception of a single UPPERCASE character in the string. The
UPPERCASE character can be in the range A-Z. How can i find the position
of
this UPPERCASE character in the string?
e.g. cell C2 contains "abc2defGhi3j" - i need to find the position of 'G'
cell C3 contains "abC2defghi3j" - i need to find the position of 'C'
and so on for 25k cells
thanks!
