=RIGHT(A1,FIND("/",A1))

This hopefully is an easy one...

I have a long list of data in one column; each listing starts with a
prefix
that I need to remove. For example 1x4r/NAME -- I need to keep only the
"Name" -- is there a way that I can remove either the first X characters
and
keep the remaining, or possibly remove everything after (and including)
the
/? The actual names are not fixed in length. Thanks in advance.
