Near-edge x-ray-absorption spectra at the Cu K-edge has been measured for (Tl[sub 0.5]Pb[sub 0.5])Sr[sub 2]Ca[sub 1[minus]x]Y[sub x]Cu[sub 2]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] compound series. It is found that both the intensity of the quadruple 1s [r arrow] 3d transition feature and the edge-energy decrease with increasing x. The results show that the Cu valence decreases slightly with the substitution of Ca[sup +2] by Y[sup +3]. This result, together with recent O K-edge result that the O-2p holes are reduced by the substitution, indicates that electronic charge is transferred into the entire CuO[sub 2] layers by the Y[sup +3] for Ca[sup +2] substitution.
