How can I search for words in all caps in Excel?

As part of a macro, I'd like to be able to identify and re-format only cells
containing words in all caps. Is that doable?

Thanks!

Select your data and run this macro:

Sub OnlyUpper()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value) Then
cell.Font.ColorIndex = 3 'make font color = red
End If
Next
End Sub

Okay, I've hit a snag with this. I just realized that this script only seems
to be finding cells containing nothing but letters in all caps. Is there a
way to find cells containing some words in all caps and some in
upper/lowercase?

You could use LCASE or the Like operator.

Could you possibly give me an example of that?

Thanks!

Don't know what information you have in your cells but something like this
could be used

For Each cell In Selection
If cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value) Then
cell.Font.ColorIndex = 3 'make font color = red
ElseIf cell.Value = LCase(Cell.Value) then
cell.Font.ColorIndex = 3 'make font color = red
ElseIf cell.Value = application.Proper(cell.Value) ' Matches if Proper
case, capital for each word eg This Is The End
ElseIf cell.VAlue like "[A-Z]*[A-Z]*"' Matched is Capital at start and
Capital some where in the text
'Code here
ElseIf cell.Value like "[A-Z]*" ' Matches value if it starts with a
capital letter
' Code here

End If
Next

Look in the help for examples of the Like Operator
Also not that for the Like Operator to Match Upper case letters you must
specify Option Compare Binary at the top of the module. If you Don't then
the case of the letters is ignored, i.e. A=a etc.

Hope this is useful

Hi Jason
I have found this old script and yes it works for me, However is it possible
to have an addition part so that in addition to the Red colour, addtional
text text is added to another column.
Eg say the selection is in Column A, if the CAPS word is found in cell A2
then B2 has '1' placed in it. This would allow a filter to be setup on Col B.

Many thanks for any help

Try this:

Sub OnlyUpper()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value) Then
If cell.Value "" Then
cell.Font.ColorIndex = 3 'make font color = red
cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = 1
End If
End If
Next
End Sub

If cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value) Then
cell.offset(,1)=1
cell.Font.ColorIndex = 3 'make font color = red
End If

Not Jason but here's a revision of his code.

Sub OnlyUpper()
Dim cell As Range
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.Value = UCase(cell.Value) Then
With cell
.Font.ColorIndex = 3 'make font color = red
.Offset(0, 1).Value = 1
End With
End If
Next
End Sub
