Forcing input to uppercase

Copper Contributor

I have inserted the below code in the code window of Sheet1 but nothing happens when I enter something in lowercase.

 

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
With Target
If Not .HasFormula Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
.Value = UCase(.Value)
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End With
End Sub

 

Can you help?

Hi Hans,

 

It worked just fine!

Please make sure that the code is inserted in the worksheet code module, not in a separate module.

To check that out, hover the move over the worksheet tab, right-click, and select View Code.

Then check if the code is inserted in there.

 

If so, it may be an error that prevents the event to be triggered, and to fix it, please update the code as follows:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    On Error Resume Next
    
    With Target

    If Not .HasFormula Then
        Application.EnableEvents = False
        .Value = UCase(.Value)
        Application.EnableEvents = True
    End If

    End With
    
    On Error GoTo 0
    
End Sub 

 

After that, save the workbook, and restart it to take effect.

 

Hope that helps
