formula that strips the first letter of the first name in a cell
I dont know if this can be done but how can I do this....
let's say in cell A1 I have the value "John" cell B1 I have the value "Smith" Can I write a formula to create this in cell C1 "JSmith" I guess it would be something like this = ????? + B1 |

Hi,
The & symbol means concatenate and while MID does work i would still recommend LEFT for removing the leftmost character. Mike "Cluce" wrote: Thanks.
