Convert text to upper case
=UPPER(text)
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
text |
The text to convert to uppercase. |
=UPPER("Apple") // returns "APPLE"
=UPPER("pear") // returns "PEAR"
Numbers or punctuation characters inside a text string are unaffected:
=UPPER("xyy-020-kwp") // returns "XYY-020-KWP"
If a numeric value is given to UPPER, number formatting is removed. For example, if cell A1 contains the date June 26, 2021, date formatting will be l
=UPPER(A1) // returns "44373"
If necessary, you can use the TEXT function to workaround this limitation. Use TEXT to convert the number to a text value, then pass that value into U
=UPPER(TEXT(A1,"mmmm d, yyyy")) // returns "JUNE 26, 2021"
