Sorry Don,
Just realised it pasted into the cell adjacent. It was because I had the
column hidden (Gone daft as well as blind)
Many thanks
Regards
John

Hi thank you both, but you are right, it does give me a problem if it is
more
or less than 3.
Is there another way to give a result regardless of the amount of words?

But, as Don will have realised, that only deals with 3 words.
Gives only 3 letters if more than 3 words, and a #VALUE error if fewer
than
3.

Hi, I am after a formula that can pick up the first letter of each
word
in a
cell. For example:
James Fred Bloggs - would become - JFB in the adjacent cell.
Is this possible?
Many thanks in advance
John
