Hi all,
I have a spreadsheet containing 65,000 rows. Each row has a cell containing a string in the following format: Data\Docs\20011018\kaateec\20114.Tif What I need to be able to do is extract the last characters from the right of the string until we reach the last '\' character. For example, the above would result in: 20114.Tif So yes, I'm trying to extract a filename only here. The filename vary in length, some 4 characters and some up to 8 characters so using this: Right(A1,9) ....simply does not work on all occasions. Should be straight forward but I simply cannot get it to work. Many Thanks in advance. |
