Default Find function

Hi,

I suspect I've made this more difficult than it need be but try this while
we wait for a simpler solution.

=LEN(A1)-FIND("@",SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,"@",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,B1,""))))

Text in A1 Text to find (counting from the right) in B1

or if you want to know how far from the right the first character is
=LEN(A1)-FIND(B1,A1,1)+1

If the "FIND" function tells me the first position from the LEFT that a
certain character exists in a string, what will do the same starting from the
RIGHT side of the string ?
