  1. I am in the need for an Excel VB macro that can identify the first character of column X and place a text value in column AC. Example is; first character B in column X, to place the word STUDENT in column AC same row, identify first character M y column X and place Master in column AC same row.

    Please help, urgent!!

    Response: sorry, I’m not enough of an Excel expert to help. I can only suggest doing a search for Excel macros. Remember to specify your version of Excel.
