Hi Teethless Mama,
That was my mistake. Yours works.
The rest works as well. I have tested. Thanks all of you.

Second from last

Last
================================
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\",REPT(" ",99)),99))

Check back into this thread from time-to-time as I'm sure someone will post
a much shorter formula than my "second from the last" one... the formula for
the "last" should pretty much be the tightest one you will find.

Dear Expert,

I have a cell containing text as follows:

R:\Team A \Client Vals\Equity Derivatives\Daily\Valuations
Temp\Fixings.xls

How can I display the text from second last of \ or last of the \ please ?
In this case, for second last of \ should be Valuations Temp\Fixings.xls
In this case, for last of \ should be Fixings.xls

Thanks in advance,
