Hi Guys,

just to add a comment to my code in regards to backstepping.
I first had a total different approach, which was total crap, that's
where the backward steps are coming from. Obviously it works as well
if you go the other way around, didn't realize that though until I saw
your post :)

Here's the forward version, although the other one should work fine:

'------------------------------------------------------
Function removeVowel(VowelWord As String) As String

Dim NoVowelWord As String

For L = 1 to Len(VowelWord)
If Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "a" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "e" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "i" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "o" Or _
Mid(VowelWord, L, 1) = "u" Then
Else
NoVowelWord = NoVowelWord & Mid(VowelWord, L, 1)
End If
Next L

removeVowel = NoVowelWord

End Function
'------------------------------------------------------

Just to add to Bob's formula.

=substitute() is case sensitive (and I bet autocorrect changed his i to I <bg).

Another alternative:

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBST ITUTE(LOWER(A1),
"a",""),"e",""),"i",""),"o",""),"u","")

no VBA
