I am trying to extract the first letter of a firstname and the first 5 letters off a last name and concatate the two values
For example I have a data field with "John Smith" in the field.
I want to get the first letter of the first name - "John" = J
I want to get the first 5 letters of the last name- "Smith" = smith
and then concatate the 2 values = jsmith
another example
For example I have a data field with "Reese Witherspoon" in the field.
I want to get the first letter of the first name - "Reese" = R
I want to get the first 5 letters of the last name- "Witherspoon" = withe
and then concatate the 2 values = rwithe
How would I do that ?
I think I know how to do each step individually but is there a better way to get the value?
