Default UCase Column BH in a Sheet

As a general rule I always avoid using procedure that could have unintended
side effects. If I had a nickel for every time that a spreadsheet needed to
be modified in a way that I had not envisioned when it was first created...
that being the case while I am sure there are no formulas in that column now
how about down the road??? Do you want to debug magic disappearing formulas
or use code that will just never overwrite your formulas?

The code that I posted can not overwrite your formulas and it is a bit more
efficient than the code posted by Gary''s Students (no disrespect to Gary''s
code). Normally I would not recommend my code over other code that works (I
have often recommended someone elses code over mine when it was superior)
but in this case I would be inclined to use the code that I posted.

Thanks Jim.

There will be NO Formula's, ONLY Text values in the Column.

This code works fine so long as there are no formulas in column BH. If there
are it converts the formulas into values that are upper cased. That is
probably an unintended side effect (although that depends on what the OP
wants). Up to you Corey...

For Each rr In r
rr.Value = UCase(rr.Value)

I have used the Ucase line of code before to format a Textbox or a single cell,
but how can i get it to work on the entirte column BH in a worksheet ?

I tried:
Range("BH:BH").value = Ucase(Range("BH:BH").value)

but i get a type missmatch error
