Hi Rekha, Here's one method. It will return 1-26 for A-Z, whether upper or lower case. If any other character, it will give an error:
=FIND(UPPER(A1),"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ") Here's another method, it will return a number for any character. If the charcater is A-Z (upper or lower case), it will be 1-26, otherwise it will be a negative number or a number higher than 26: =CODE(UPPER(A1))-64 Although the above could be modified to return an error for other characters, if that's important, the FIND() method is probably simpler and faster.
