I’m trying to use Excel to create unique usernames using a person’s first initial and last name. My current table cells follow the format:
firstname middlename (possiblesecondmiddlename) lastname
How would I write a formula to create this username?
Is that all in one cell? If so then with data in A1 try this formula in B1
=PROPER(LEFT(A1)&TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),99)))If you want a limited number of characters, e.g. 7, add another LEFT function
=LEFT(PROPER(LEFT(A1)&TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",99)),99))),7)
