    Change character while copy

    Hi!
    Given are the following columns e.g.: Surname and Name.
    In a third column I would like to paste the contents of these cells together to create an email addresses.

    Example:
    Column1: john
    Column2: vön humboldt
    Column3(=result): [email protected]

    The problems that arise and aren't solved yet:
    PROBLEM1:
    the spaces should be removed
    PROBLEM2:
    Special characters should be replaced. Writing a formula containing a sub-formula for every character that should be replaced is quite inefficient, resulting in a large formula. So is there an alternative? A standard formula, trick,...?
    to give you an idea:
    ü >(should be replaced by)> u
    éêëè > e
    âäàå > a
    ç > c
    etc...

    lookings forward for solutions. thanks in advance!

    Renee

    Assuming the name is on row 5 columns A and B then
    =LOWER(A5&SUBSTITUTE(B5," ",""))&"@"

    Use Edit, Replace to change é to e and repeat for each character
