Acronym Function?
Is there anyway to generate an acronym on cell contents with a function?
Ideally I could ignore certain words e.g. of, the, and, etc. and then for the first letter of each word generate an acronym e.g. United States of America = USA |

Acronym Function?
Hi,
Try this UDF which extracts the first capital of each word Function FrstLtrs(MyStr As String) As String Dim temp Dim i As Long TmpStr = Split(Trim(MyStr)) For i = 0 To UBound(TmpStr) If Asc(Left(TmpStr(i), 1)) = 65 And _ Asc(Left(TmpStr(i), 1)) = 90 Then FrstLtrs = FrstLtrs & Left(TmpStr(i), 1) End If Next End Function -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
