Hi Fred

Assuming data is in column A, then in an empty column enter
=UPPER(A1)
Copy down new column for the extent of data in column A.
Copy new column and Paste SpecialValues back over column A.
Delete new column.

Roger: Thank you for your assistance. I tried your suggestion, but all it
did was copy the 1st name down the entire column. Did I do something wrong?
I tried your suggestion numerous times to eliminate any errors on my part,
but i kept getting the same results. Pls. reply.

thanks in advance!!

Hi

It sounds as though ToolsOptionsCalculation is set to Manual.
Select Automatic instead and it should work fine.
