It obviously depend on your slug algorithm. However in google spreadsheet you can use
=LOWER(SUBSTITUTE(REGEXREPLACE(REGEXREPLACE(TRIM(C2),"[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]",""),"\s{2,}"," ")," ","-"))
In Excel you will have to implement REGEXREPLACE as a macro (it should not be too difficult)
My gawd I need this - thank you!
