    Sheet name from cell values

    I have a code that takes date from "A7" and text from "G7" to name sheet. Sometimes however sheet names can be too long. How do I modify below code to get date and only the first letter of each word to form sheet name? So if "A7" is 9/24/23 and "G7" is "Georgia Network Meeting", then sheet name should be "Sep23-GNM".

    Re: Sheet name from cell values

    The message box output is perfect but how can it be modified to change sheet name as in my original code?

    You probably need to keep the Function FirstLetters from post #2
