A letter to our Microsoft Project community

Can you please help me to create a Formula, I get an error every time I try to add the one that i had

=UPPER(LEFT(A9,1*MID(A9,FIND(".",A9)+1,LEN(A9)-FIND(".",A9))))

 

I attach the file, 

 

=LEFT(A8,1)

=MID(A8,FIND(".",A8)+1,LEN(A8)-FIND(".",A8))

=UPPER(CONCATENATE(B8,C8,D8,))

if I just the formula I don't need to concatenate 

=UPPER(LEFT(A9,1*MID(A9,FIND(".",A9)+1,LEN(A9)-FIND(".",A9))))

But I get an error #VALUE!

  • Deleted , the #VALUE error is returned since you multiply number 1 on the text returned by MID(). I guess that was misprint, you don't need that.

     

    In addition to the formula Twifoo suggested you may use Data->Text to Columns or Flash Fill, depends on needs.

    If you want to extract all characters after the dot (.), then convert them to uppercase, this is the formula you need:
    =UPPER(RIGHT(A9,
    LEN(A9)-FIND(“.”,A9)))
