This is Excel 2000. Cell C2 in a worksheet called 'NOTES'

contains '34 West Street, somewhere-in-England'

=UPPER ( NOTES!C2 )

is supposed to produce ' 34 WEST STREET, SOMEWHERE-IN-ENGLAND'

In fact it gives:

#NAME?

What is going wrong?

Have you spelt UPPER( correctly? There is no space before the open
bracket.

Hope this helps.

Are you trying to reach the cell from a different sheet?

=UPPER ( 'NOTES!C2 )

Alan,

Try getting rid of the space between "UPPER" and "(".  That fixed it for me.

hth,

Doug
