Default Can a column be formated to make any entry in that column capitali

If there is an entry in that column then it will always be an X. It needs to
be capitalized. If there a way to just enter X and not shift X?

Not without using VBA event code for an in-cell change or a helper column
and the UPPER function.

Event code for in-cell-as-you-enter change..................

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

Helper column..................

In an adjacent column enter =IF(A1="","",UPPER(A1))
