search for capital letter at end of text string
I need to search for a word with a capital letter at the end of the string.
For example Hydrochloric acid 1M Ive tried using =IF(RIGHT(D18)="M","yes","no"), but it doesnt differentiate between lower case and upper case. Can anyone help? Thanks, Roger |

search for capital letter at end of text string
Try it this way in order to check for a specific upper cased letter...
=IF(EXACT(RIGHT(D18),"M"),"yes","no") and this way to see if the letter, no matter which one it is, is upper case... =IF(AND(CODE(RIGHT(D18))=65,CODE(RIGHT(D18))<=91) ,"yes","no") Rick "Roger on Excel" wrote in message ...

search for capital letter at end of text string
If the last character is always a letter:
=IF(EXACT(UPPER(RIGHT(D18,1)),RIGHT(D18,1)),"Upper ","NotUpper") But this will return Upper for numbers, punctionation, special characters, ... =IF(AND(CODE(RIGHT(D18,1))=CODE("A"),CODE(RIGHT(D 18,1))<=CODE("Z")), "upper","not upper") Checks for A to Z.
