You cannot format a cell to achieve this.

You would use a helper cell with the formula =UPPER(A1)

Or sheet event code.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Column 1 Then Exit Sub
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
Application.EnableEvents = False
Target.Formula = UCase(Target.Formula)
ErrHandler:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code".

Copy/paste the event code into that module.

Edit to suit........as written, works only on column A

When done editing, Alt + q to return to Excel.
