data filter and pivot table manipulate data
- Jul 17, 2024
With the following formula, you can use a workaround. As far as I know, you cannot make pivot tables case sensitive.
Each capital letter is marked with a 0-wide space (unichar 8203).
=TEXTJOIN("",TRUE,IF(UNICODE(MID(B2,SEQUENCE(LEN(B2)),1))>64,IF(UNICODE(MID(B2,SEQUENCE(LEN(B2)),1))<91,UNICHAR(8203),""),"")&MID(B2,SEQUENCE(LEN(B2)),1))
So you don't see that at all. Pivot will still differentiate according to whether it is present.
Ich hoffe das hilft dir weiter.

Thank you for your interesting feedback.
Your solution is not the first thing that comes to mind, but it is an elegant solution to my problem.
It would certainly be better if there was a switch in Excel or Pivot for case sensitivity. That is my request for improvement to Microsoft.
Thanks again for your efforts!

I don't think case sensitivity on/off switch will ever be implemented on client tool. My impression that could be quite expensive from performance point of view.
To my knowledge suggested here by dscheikey solution with using unicode zero-width space is most reliable workaround.
