    Post Removing First Name and Leaving First Initial

    Have a column of 600 or so names that I need to remove the first name but leave the first initial.

    Column currently reads:
    Schmidt, Jack
    Smith, Michael

    to

    Schmidt, J
    Smith, M

    Does anyone have a formula for how to do this? I've tried everything I know and I can't seem to get it right.
