hello,

=left.,.
The formula is incomplete, i must extract different filename's
E.G.
c:\program files\eag\dir\testing\test.xls

Now the formula must extract c:\program files\eag\dir\

another example:
c:\windows\system\systemroot\test\testing.xls

The formula must extract c:\windows\system\systemroot\

So you can see, the formula must extract the file and its folder, so 2
steps

I can't get it to work, hope you can

Regards,
Niek
