Is that something you can work with?

Yes and no.
Yes, cause thanks for an actual solution.
No cause if i wanted to use it, i'd had to change way to much to make it worth it, it'd be easier to just change the lettering to capitals in the reports.
can't i modify the original formula?

I DID modify your original formula...
I used the UPPER function to force the text to be uppercase and I replaced SUM with SUMPRODUCT (eliminating the need to CSE the formula).

Perhaps you could do this...
• Find/Replace all: = and replace with: |=....that will convert all formulas to text
• Find/Replace all: SUBSTITUTE( and replace with: SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(
• Find/Replace all: ;"U" and replace with: );"U"
• Find/Replace all: |=SUM and replace with: =SUMPRODUCT

That would convert all of your formulas to the new version.
