Excel lets you make formats for numbers but not masks for text
Only thing I can suggest is using formula =UPPER(LEFT(A1,3)&" "&RIGHT(A1,3))
to do the conversion
Later you could use Copy followed by Paste Special Values to convert that
column to text. This allows you to delete the input column

How do I creat an input mask for the the Canadian postal code?

I would really like the person the be able to type v2v2v2 and have it
formatted V2V 2V2. I can do this in Access so I was hoping I could do it
in
Excel. It's either an input mask or formatting - I really don't know the
proper terminology.

Normally, I would use Access for this particular task but the person I'm
creating this for doesn't have the software.

Sorry if this is a repeated question but I just don't use Excel too often.

Thank you!
