Try this formula
=LEFT([Employee Name]@row, 1) + RIGHT([Employee Name]@row, LEN([Employee Name]@row) - FIND(" ", [Employee Name]@row) + 1)

Paul H: Could you twist this formula slightly to show me how I'd pull the FIRST name + the LAST INITIAL. No middle names/initials to worry about. Thanks in advance! -R
