Build an email address

An Excel formula exercise from Formuladrill. Solve it with a formula bar on a live sheet in your browser, and it is checked the moment you submit.

The task

Create each email address from the names: the first letter of the first name, then the last name, all lowercase, then @acme.com. For example Maria Lopez becomes mlopez@acme.com. Fill C2 and C3.

What this exercise teaches

Text functions nest like building blocks: LEFT feeds the join, which feeds LOWER.

A hint if you get stuck

LEFT(text, 1) gives the first letter. The & operator joins pieces of text together.

Functions used: LEFT, LOWER
