I have days off in the P column in this format: Sat/Sun
I'm using them in another column in this format SatSun, so I'm using this
formula:
=LEFT(P21,3)&RIGHT(P21,3), which produces SatSun
However, I have some days off that just have Sun, which produces SunSun.
How can the formula be writen to produce SatSun when two days are showing,
and only Sun when one day is showing ?

Thanks,

Steve

Use Substitute, as in:
=Substitute(P21,"/","")

Regards,
Fred

=IF(LEN(P21)=7,LEFT(P21,3)&RIGHT(P21,3),P21)

Yes, much better!

=if(len(P21)>3,LEFT(P21,3)&RIGHT(P21,3),P21)

Assumes that cell P21 has nothing in it but either Sat, Sun, or Sat...Sun
