Default Number Format - Capitalize

Is there a way to get a number format to show capital letters?

For example, I want to display 3/14/2006 as "MAR". I can get it to display
as Mar, but my boss wants it to appear as capital letters.

You could use a font which only displays capital letters.....

or with a formula in another cell

=UPPER(TEXT(A1,"mmm"))
