If there are names in a list that are similar, like Roosevelt Smith and
Rosette Smith, how could they be concatenated in a third column such that the first letter that is different in the first name be used in the combo. For instance, the names would be combined as Rv Smith and Rt Smith. Note that Rosette only has one "o" whereas Roosevelt has two, so code that simply counts same letter placements will not work. So, I have a firstname field and a lastname field, and I want a third field with the formula. Thanks much for any help ;-) Arnold |
