To find the position of the UPPERCASE character in a string, you can use the following formula:
Code:
```
=MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(CODE(MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1))-64),0)
```
Here, A1 is the cell containing the string you want to search for the UPPERCASE character.

Let's break down the formula:
1. MID(A1,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(A1))),1) extracts each character in the string one by one, starting from the first character.
2. CODE(...) returns the ASCII code of each character.
3. ISNUMBER(...-64) checks if the ASCII code minus 64 (the ASCII code for 'A') is a number. If it is, then the character is an UPPERCASE letter.
4. MATCH(TRUE,...,0) returns the position of the first TRUE value in the array. This corresponds to the position of the UPPERCASE letter in the string.
Simply copy and paste the formula into the cell where you want to display the position of the UPPERCASE letter, and replace A1 with the cell containing the string you want to search. You can then drag the formula down to apply it to all the cells you want to search.
