Technically, I'd select "0" as the number of letters to retain from the nation's name, and then type "Dutch" in the custom suffix cell.

I added a "custom" cell into which I can manually type some other ending or just leave it blank. A second drop-down menu shows how many of the country name's letters to retain (starting from the left) before adding the suffix... If you're Excel-literate, you'll know what I mean. Why do it simply when it can be done the hard way, right?<br /><br />...ans, ians, ards, iards, asque, enes, ers, ese, lese, i, ic, ines, ites, ish, iots, iotes, o, eno, vians, wegians, "custom."<br /><br />Think of any others?Bruce Heardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929476133092132896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8752010860639064233.post-30836281832322839562012-06-28T09:36:19.262-05:002012-06-28T09:36:19.262-05:00I know.
