Use Len and Left to make name 3 letters
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. |
