Looking for a formula to create a mnemonic, using two existing col
lets say my excel sheet looks like this:
A B C Last Name First Name Mnemonic Johnston John at the moment the mnemonic column is empty...what I want to do, is create a formula that can take the FIRST letter of the FIRST name, and the first SEVEN letters from the LAST name and insert it into column C. So Excel would take Johnston, John and turn it to Jjohnsto. Can anyone offer me help with this? |
