use the concatenate formula... to look like this in whichever cell you wanted to show this: =Concatenate(c1,c2,c3) -- Browner ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Browner's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33657 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=553516 |

Is it always going to be first name SPACE second name - if so, use
LEFT(CellRef,1) to get the first initial and MID(CellRef,search(" ",CellRef)+1,1) to get the second initial ChrisMattock wrote: Thanks guys, that's brilliant, now how about if I want the next bit to be the initials of someones name? i.e. cell A4 has Chris Mattock, and I need to get CM? -- ChrisMattock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ChrisMattock's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=33912 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=553516 |

=LEFT(A4,1) & MID(A4,FIND(" ",A4,1)+1,1) will get initials assuming only first and last name present separated by one blank.
