If say the name David is in cell C11, then type in D11
=CHAR(CODE(C11)) will return the "D" the 1st Character

Hi,
for a paper I have to only render the Initials of the first name in the
list of references:
At the place of: Anderson, David
I have to use: Anderson, D.
Any idea how to do that with the bibliography tools of libre office?
Thanks, Dietrich
