Does anyone know how to come up w/ a smart function that will exctract the
first 2 letters of the first 2 words from a string. For instance, I may have the following data in a column: Alpha Bravo Zulu Yankee Delta Kilo Mike Tango Papa I'd like to have the 4 characters strung together, such as: - ALBR - DEKI - MITA Now, the following would be a BIG PLUS!!! Let's say I had a 4th record such as "Mke Tango Yankee". In this case, I would have MITA twice since the 1st two words are the same (3rd and 4th record). Is there now a chance to take the 3rd word for the example "duplicate value"? So, I'd come up with: - ALBR - DEKI - MITA - MIYA Thanks, Tom |
