Is there a way to set a formula so all text in the column or sheet is upper case even if someone enters it on a form in lower or title case?
Hello,
If you are looking to convert user entries to uppercase in the existing cell, there isn't a way to do this.
The UPPER() function can convert text from one cell to all uppercase. https://help.smartsheet.com/function/upper.

Tried working around this using a helper column with =UPPER([column name]@row) on automation workflows... but when triggered it ads a single ' at the start of the formula...
Hi @SaulB
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible to add formulas with the change cell action, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
Best,

Hope this helps!

The challenge is that this activity typically happens on a deadline day, and a team member may need to generate 30 or more of these…
Hi all, reaching out to see if of you have ideas; I'm hoping this makes sense: I'm having some trouble getting my formulas to pull data in correctly. I currently have a sheet (primary data) where I have data in rows where each row is a single project, with columns identifying persons, $ values, unique project identifier,…
I have #'s that pull from each project into each sheet's - sheet summary. Those then get pulled into a sheet summary report. They are currently grouped by what channel they are in. Each column gives a total sum. I was asked to see if we can combine the total sum into one number, so it shows how many total SKU's are being…
