How about this:

 

UPPER(LEFT(text_field__c,1)) = LEFT(text_field__c,1)

Hey, try REGEX()

 

So the validation rule will look something like this: NOT( REGEX(LEFT(Name,1), "[A-Z]") )

Hi,

Use the Below Expression. It is also works.

NOT(REGEX( MyField__C , 

"^[A-Z]+[a-zA-Z]*$"))

Hi RajaDinakaran

 

I've used your regex function but observed that it is not allowing valid data (ex: Anil_Talluri) or invalid data (Anil_talluri or anil_Talluri etc)

 

Please help me in this regard as I too have the same requirement.

Hi atall,

 

Try this it works for your requirement

 

NOT(REGEX( MyField__C , 

"^[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$"))

 

 try this and let me know it works.

 

Thanks
