Default Hyperlink display

I have the file path to several files of mine in columb A.
In columb B, I use =hyperlink(A1) and copy down.

The hyperlinks work fine but I only want to display the actual file
name.

example instead of

- G:\Staff Duty Book Folders V2\Book Cover.doc

I want it to display

- Book Cover

Any suggestions I am totally lost on this.
Thanks in advance


Maybe it's a little bit long, but I think it should work:

=MID(SUBSTITUTE(A10,"\","]",LEN(A10)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A10,"\",""))),FIND("]",SUBSTITUTE(A10,"\","]",LEN(A10)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A10,"\",""))))+1,LEN(A10)-FIND("]",SUBSTITUTE(A10,"\","]",LEN(A10)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A10,"\",""))))-4)

where in A10 you have your path with filename.

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.
