UPPER formulas
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.
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- Add the formula as a Column Formula.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
Best,

Hi @SaulB, @tcanelli41471, my name is Nathan and I'm building a browser extension that improves Smartsheet.
The browser extension is SSFeatures ( ) and you can use it to enforce different capitalization rules on all of your data.
It currently supports the following capitalization rules:
- Uppercase: "THIS IS AN EXAMPLE"
- Lowercase: "this is an example"
- Title Case: "This is an Example"
- First Letter Upper Case: "This Is An Example"
- Sentence Case: "This is an example"
You can use this to enforce rules on your data without needing to use a helper column, even if the data comes from a form.
Hope this helps!
