    IF first letter in name starts with A, then put an Abc

    I am trying to come up with a formula to look at the first letter in the name and then put a Abc or Def, or Ghi..etc. Example:
    Adam Abc
    Charlie Abc
    Delta Def
    Mike Mno
    Peter Pqrs

    Edit: It's been a while since I've used Office 2007. If memory serves me correctly you may need to array enter this formula in B1 and copy down.

    If you aren’t familiar with array-entered formulas array enter means the formula must be committed from edit mode by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter.

    Try this and copy down.
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Or depending upon how I interpret the intent (also array entered)
