=FIND(A1,UPPER("~YN"))1
your formula fail. If user enter both YN in a cell

Good catch. I didn't test for that possibility.

Try this one:

=(LEN(A1)=1)*(FIND(A1,UPPER("YN")))

Or, the robust version:

=FIND(A1,UPPER("~YN"))1

your formula fail. If user enter both YN in a cell


Try this one:

=AND(EXACT(A1,UPPER(A1)),OR(A1="Y",A1="N"))

I want to ensure that the data in a cell is either a capitalized Y or a
capitalized N. I understand how to do the data validation of a list
with Y
&
N. And I understand how to enforce capitalization:
=EXACT(A1,UPPER(A1)).
However, I don't understand how to enforce both for the same cell.
