Hello:
I have an Excel workbook with the first column of Customer Name. This
column contains the names of both businesses and personal customers.
Personal customers have the '*' symbol in front of their last name
(i.e. ROBERT A *SMITH). I would like to create a macro that scans each
customer name for an asterisk - if one exists, take the personal
customer's first name and place it in an adjacent column. I plan to use
this new column as the greeting in a mail merge. If there is no
asterisk in a customer name then it is a business and the entire
business name would be used in the greeting.
Example:
Robert A *Smith in cell A1 would be changed to Robert in cell B1...for
"Dear Robert:"
Picture Perfect Inc in cell A1 would be Picture Perfect Inc in cell
B1...for "Dear Picture Perfect Inc:"
Having this in a macro would be ideal because it could run at the end
of a series of macros I have that run in sucession.
Thanks in advance!
