    Add fromula to data validation

    Hi.
    This is a simple formula that excel gives me when i use the list box function from the data validation:
    ='Sheet1'!$C$2:$C$73
    My question is, can i add an additional formula to this formula?
    I would like that the cell should automatically convert any data entered into uppercase.
    *I am trying to avoid macros.

    Thanks
