I am creating an Excel spreadsheet to track permit holders. I need to assign
user IDs to the first three letters of the last name of the permit holders.
The column for the permit holder's name is column J. In column I, I need a
formula to take the first three letters of the permit holders last name and
add 0101 to it. Example:

I J
smi0101 Smith

I know that there is an IF function that could do this, but I have had no
success in making it work. Can you help?

Thanks,
