I am trying to combine contents from 2 cells into 1

Ex: Row 1 would have first name "John" and row 2 would have last name "Doe"
Now what I need is Row 3 to have from row 1 only first letter from the name
and from row 2 the full lastname. I know how to combine the 2 rows but not to
only get the first letter. Result should be JDoe in row 3

=LEFT(A1,1) & A2

Entered in A3

But, I'm betting you have "row" and "column" mixed up so try

=LEFT(A1,1) & B1

Entered in C1
