    Extract UPPER CASE words.

    i had a scenario in which i need to extract only the UPPER case words from a column and paste them in the adjacent column. Is there any formula or vba routine for it.

    Ex:
    COL A contains the following:
    FIRST
    second
    THIRD
    FOURTH
    fifth
    sixth
    SEVENTH

    ......and so on.

    i need to extract only the Letters or words which are in total Uppercase and paste them in the next column ..i.e. COLUMN B..

    any forumlas...

    Re: Extract UPPER CASE words.

    Try using an Advanced Filter...

    Using your posted data in A2:A8

    Notice that we are referencing the first data row...not the heading

    The Advanced Filter will list all records that test TRUE for all upper case under cell B1.

    Is that something you can work with?
