Default Formatting cells to only upper case

If all you're limited to is formatting, then the closest thing you could use is
a font that is all uppercase.

You could use another column with that =upper() worksheet function

or you could use a macro that reacts when someone changes a cell in the range
you want.

Chip Pearson has some event procedure code he

Chip has some code that same page that you can run on demand.

Is it possible to pre-format a column of cells as "text" such that any
entered text will automatically be converted to UPPER CASE?

For example, entering lower "x" will be 'forced' by the formatting to
automatically appear as cap "X".

This would be comparable to database software that I use wherein I can
assign a "field input mask" to a data entry field that "forces" all text
entries to UPPER CASE.

Thanks,

John
