    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Column:

    Uppercase =
IF (
    [FirstName] = BLANK ()
        && [LastName] = BLANK (),
    BLANK (),
    IF (
        EXACT ( UPPER ( '132330'[FirstName] ), '132330'[FirstName] )
            && EXACT ( UPPER ( '132330'[LastName] ), '132330'[LastName] ),
        "yes",
        "no"
    )
)

    Is this the result you expect?

Anonymous , You have add a condition with add && , OR ||

 

example

 

IF(
EXACT(UPPER('132330'[FirstName]), '132330'[FirstName]) || EXACT(UPPER('132330'[LatsName]), '132330'[LastName])
, "yes", "no")

 

 

with and

 

IF(
EXACT(UPPER('132330'[FirstName]), '132330'[FirstName]) && EXACT(UPPER('132330'[LatsName]), '132330'[LastName])
, "yes", "no")

    amitchandak thank you very much for replying. It is an honor to have you help me. I have admired your knowledge and willingness to help others for a long time. That looks great and I can use it in other applications, but I am wanting to have the result to return "yes" if any of the values in a row are all upper case. That way I will be able to find constituents who have any fields that are all upper case.

      Anonymous , As of now, I think you need to have the same condition on all columns using or (||)

       

      for and we can even concat and check

       

      IF(
      EXACT(UPPER('132330'[FirstName] & '132330'[LatsName]) , '132330'[FirstName] & '132330'[LastName])
      , "yes", "no")

        amitchandak I tried this, but get a "no" when the "IQ" last name should give a "yes" result.

         

        Final =
        IF (
            [FirstName] = BLANK ()
                && [LastName] = BLANK (),
            BLANK (),
            IF(
        EXACT(UPPER('132330'[Prefix] &'132330'[FirstName] &'132330'[LastName] &'132330'[Suffix] &'132330'[PreferredName] &'132330'[HomeAddress1] &'132330'[HomeAddress2] &'132330'[HomeCity] & '132330'[Email]) , '132330'[Prefix] &'132330'[FirstName] &'132330'[LastName] &'132330'[Suffix] &'132330'[PreferredName] &'132330'[HomeAddress1] &'132330'[HomeAddress2] &'132330'[HomeCity] & '132330'[Email])
        , "yes", "no"))

    amitchandak can this be combined with some of this code below at the beginning to not include empty cells giving a "yes" anwser?

     

    Uppercase =
    IF (
    [FirstName] = BLANK ()
    && [LastName] = BLANK (),
    BLANK (),
    IF (
    EXACT ( UPPER ( '132330'[Prefix] ), '132330'[Prefix] )
    && EXACT ( UPPER ( '132330'[FirstName] ), '132330'[FirstName] ),
    "yes",
    "no"
    )

      Anonymous , Try like

       

      Uppercase =
      Switch(True(),
      [FirstName] = BLANK ()
      && [LastName] = BLANK (),
      EXACT ( UPPER ( '132330'[Prefix] ), '132330'[Prefix] )
      && EXACT ( UPPER ( '132330'[FirstName] ), '132330'[FirstName] ),
      "yes",
      "no"
      )

        amitchandak I get this error message:

        Function 'SWITCH' does not support comparing values of type True/False with values of type Text. Consider using the VALUE or FORMAT function to convert one of the values.
