comparing 2 columns

I have 2 columns that I need to compare. 

some values in Column A have the acronyms and column B has the full name. Example Col A has NBC and B has National Bradcasting corporation.  so when I compare the 2 columns, I want it to pass.  How do I do that?

    You might use a helper column that constructs the acronym from the full name:

    The formula in C2 is

    =CONCAT(LEFT(TEXTSPLIT(B2, " ")))
