i need a formula to assign a person to an assignment depending on the first letter of the customer's last name

Ticket # Customer Name Employee Assignment
123 Doe, Jon
124 Smith, Robert


Above is a simple version, but employee "Bob" will take assignments where Customer Last names begin with A-L while Allison will take assignments where the Customer Last name begins with M-Z

Any help is appreciated.

Do you hate GETPIVOTDATA?
Prevent GETPIVOTDATA. Select inside a PivotTable. In the Analyze tab of the ribbon, open the dropown next to Options and turn it off
maybe something like...

=IF(OR(LEFT(B2,1)={"A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L"}),"BoB","Allison")
