Default Last initial

Try:

=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1)&MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,1)&MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1,1)+3,1))

I am trying to figure out how to extract intials from a name.
The names are in one column in the format of "Frank A Right". I have the
first initial extracted and the middle initial extracted, but I can't seem
to
get the first letter of the last name. So far I have:
=UPPER(LEFT(A1,1)&MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,1)). What would I add to this to
get
the last initial?

Thanks
