Creating column from select data in multiple columns

[shifter5]

I have some data that is populated every two weeks. Each employee who falls into this catagory needs to have a specific ID assigned to them. The ID must state the location they work, the year of the transaction, the first 3 letters of the last name, and the last four of their SSN. See the data set attached. I would like to have the blue highlighted cells be generated via a formula. I do not know how to write VBA code, but can semi-understand a written code.
(i.e. 3188SHI1234 '318' = location, '8' = year, 'SHI' = first 3 letters of the last name, and '1234' = SSN) [Think of it as a primary key] The location will always be 318. A cell reference is located in the top left corner. Thank you in advance for your post!

This formula (in the ID column) should give you what you need.

="318"&((YEAR(D3)-2000)&(LEFT(C3,3))&(RIGHT(B3,4)))

(Although an expert on here may be able to give a neater way of getting the 1 digit year)

="318"&MID(YEAR(D3),4,1)&MID(C3,1,3)&RIGHT(B3,4)

Expert or not, it's beautiful. Thank you. I now have a basis.

Is there a way to change the year code to be on a fiscal year basis?
i.e. october 1st 2008 is actually paid by 2009 budgeted dollars.

So, dates between 10/1/2008 through 9/30/2009 will need a '9' digit code and 10/1/2009 through 9/30/2010 will need a '0' code.

This is the last piece I forgot to add in. Thanks in advance

 

[mjd1972]

I tried to add in (to machapicho's tidied up formula)

the following for the financial year =if(MONTH(D3),>9,(MID(YEAR(D3),4,1)+1,MID(YEAR(D3),4,1

to give:

="318"&(if(MONTH(D3),>9,(MID(YEAR(D3),4,1)+1,MID(YEAR(D3),4,1)&MID(C3,1,3)&RIGHT(B3,4)

but it didn't seem to work, it added 1 to all the years, despite what month they were.

Maybe someone esle can shed some light???

="318"&MID(YEAR(D3),4,1)&MID(C3,1,3)&RIGHT(B3,4)

Thanks machopicho for the streamlined formula- can you answer my "forgotten" part of the post. Please see the threads. THANKS

Ok- I got it to work. mjd1972 formula worked great with a few minor tweeks. The IF formula needed a comma removed, and a few
parenthesizes added into the IF function. I've attached the corrected formula! Thank you for the responses -

="318"&IF(MONTH(D3)>9,(MID(YEAR(D3),4,1))+1,MID(YEAR(D3),4,1))&MID(C3,1,3)&RIGHT(B3,4)
