I am using this to strip the file extension off of a file name
Range("G6").Value = Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, InStr
(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".") - 1)

It messes up with multiple "."
How do I strip off the file extension and far right "." only?



Perhaps:

Left(activeworkbook.name, InStrRev(fn, ".") - 1)
