Identify All Cells Not Capital Macro

[XLML]

Hi,

I am looking for a macro that will check all cells in any column I choose (Column C for instance).

During the check, it should identify all cells in which alpha characters are not capital. (perhaps by changing the background color of the cell to red)

The only issue I see is that a cell might contain both alpha and numberic characters.

For instance, "998Test" should be flagged b/c the "e", "s" and "t" in the cell are lowercase.

Thanks in advance,
XLML

This should do it:

Sub macro()
Dim cell As Range
ActiveCell.EntireColumn.Select 'You may want to limit your selection
For Each cell In Selection
If cell.Text <> UCase(cell.Text) Then cell.Interior.Color = vbred
Next cell
End Sub

You could also use an InputBox() so that the user can define their own range. Example from VBA Help file:

Set myRange = Application.InputBox(prompt := "Sample", type := 8)

Hope that helps!

This is a modification of tactps sol'n. In this solution you just highligt the rows or columns you want to verify. The difference in this sol'n is that only cells with values in them are looked at .... therefore greatly speeding the process up.

Sub Lcase()
For Each cell In Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 3)
If cell.Text <> UCase(cell.Text) Then cell.Interior.Color = vbRed
Next cell
End Sub

Thanks for all the replies. How do I have a message box appear at the end with a count of cells identified?

Sub Lcase()
C = 0
For Each cell In Selection.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeConstants, 3)
If cell.Text <> UCase(cell.Text) Then cell.Interior.Color = vbRed
C = C + 1
Next cell
pt = MsgBox("Total Found " & C, vbInformation, "Found Cells")
End Sub
