Use Len and Left to make name 3 letters
Assuming that the last name will always be at least 2 characters long:
=IF(LEN(C1)2,LEFT(C1,3)&LEFT(A1),C1&"Z"&LEFT(A1))

The last name is in Column C and the first name is in Column A. I need to
make a new column with the first 3 letters of the last name. If the last
name
is 2 letters, the last letter needs to be a Z. (Example: Bo, it needs to
be
BoZ). Also need to add the first initial of the first name.
