Default find in reverse

Hi

I understand you are looking to find from the end of a string and not a
range..

If you are looking to implement this in code then use the function InstrRev
which will return the position of the occurence from end.
OR
If you are looking to use it as a function from worksheet you can copy the
below to VBE and use this function from Insert|Function|UserDefined

If this post helps click Yes
---------------

Function FindStringfromRev(strString, strFindString)
FindStringfromRev = InStrRev(strString, strFindString)
End Function

To copy this 'Launch VBE using short-key Alt+F11. On the left treeview right
click 'This Workbook '. Insert a module and paste the below code. Save. Get
back to Workbook. Set the Security level to low/medium in
(Tools|Macro|Security).
