Default How do I create a formula using part of the data in 1 cell?

I am trying to create a conditional formula that will look at the first three
characters in a cell and determine a value based on that. Here are four
examples of the data I am looking at and the values I need returned for each:

Data Value returned should be
TAD12345 Ab
TED1263 Ed
TAC25462 Ab CI
TAT9456 Ab TRM

I need a conditional formula that will look at the first three letters in
each of these and return the value based on that. Any suggestions?
