Default Excel formula help

Hello all

I have a spreadsheet with column A, cell 1 with some text in it in the form "servername_win2k3.lun". I am trying to work out how to automatically fill in column B, cell 1 with "servername_win2k3.qt" by copying the data in column A, cell 1 and replacing .lun with .qt .

Anyone know how I might be able to do this ?

Dave
