Hey yall! I made a formula to take First initial, last name, and account number from two columns and combine them. We ran into a issue with people having 2 last names. Any fixes?

The column looks like this: Berry, Jim | 5654

Code as of now turns it into: JBERRY5654

Here is the code as we speak.

UPPER(LEFT(RIGHT({Name},MINUS(LEN({Name}),SEARCH(" “,{Name},1)))),1) & UPPER(regexextract({Name},”[\w]*")) & {AccN}

If possible id like to keep that, and if they have two last names just combine them for first inital, both last names, accn

If they have two names.

The formula as of now works great for a regular first initial, last name.

Try this:
UPPER(SUBSTITUTE(REGEXREPLACE({Name}, "(.*),\s*(.).*", "$2$1"), " ", "")) & {AccN}
