Extracting the last word from a string.
I have a list in excel like the one below.
The filename is always after the last "/". What formula can I use to extract the filename? The number of instances of "/" is not cosistent in every path string. ../ABCD/home/ABCD/EFGH/ciaran ../ABCD/home/ABCD/EFGH/bin/paul ../ABCD/home/james ../ABCD/home/ABCD/EFGH/bin/partition The results I would like a ciaran paul james partition |

Extracting the last word from a string.
Hi,
Try this =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/","*",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/",""))))) -- Mike When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the question.
