This will do what you asked...
=LOWER(LEFT(MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,1)&A1,FIND(",",A 1))) But, I have a friend whose last name contains a space (Della Rossa)... if he was in your list, I'm guessing you would not want the space to appear in your user ID, so consider using this more universal modification to the above formula... =SUBSTITUTE(LOWER(LEFT(MID(A1,FIND(",",A1)+2,1)& A1,FIND(",",A1)))," ","") Rick "sjs" wrote in message ...
