Formula To Show First Letter Of A Word Only

[rockyw]

How can I return the first letter of a word? I use a simple formule like (=Board!C6) to return data to a sheet that gets filled out each day. Is there a easy way to have a formula like this return the first letter of what ever word is in the cell it's looking at? If the cell contains Dog, it only returns the D. Thanks

Try

=LEFT(Board!C6,1)
