Hi Friends,
How to get the substring value from a column with data?

Example
-------

Names Initials
----- --------
MTOLISI
FERNANDO
MAKGATLISHA SWARTBOOI
SIVENGI
T A
SAMANTHA MARY

I need to populate the initials column by taking the first character from the Names field
My Initials column should be as below

Initials
--------
M
F
MS
S
T A
SM

Thanks Guys,
Kishan
