Jim,
Thank you...I didn't do a good job with my explanation...each name is
different as is the individual letter. So the first name column has steve,
tom, joe, etc and the letter column is ie, a, c, f, h, etc.

Assuming names are in column A

In B1 ="Sunshine" & " " & A1 double-click on B1 filkl handle to fil down

Assuming letters are in column C

In D1 =24 & "-" and C1
