Using Excel 2000 and without having to get into Macros, is there a way to set
a validation such that only an uppercase character can be enterted into the cell? For example, the cell would allow an uppercase "X" but nothing else? Thank you for all help / suggestions, -- LPS |

Try this:
Select cell A1 From the Excel main menu: <data<validation<settings tab Allow: custom Formula: =EXACT(A1,"X") (Adjust the Error Alert so it mentions that only uppercase "X" is allowed) Click the [OK] button Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "LPS" wrote: Using Excel 2000 and without having to get into Macros, is there a way to set a validation such that only an uppercase character can be enterted into the cell?
