Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
Maybe something like that?

Code:
Sub foo()
    Dim strPath As String
    Dim strExt As String
    
    strPath = "C:\Users\xxxxxx\Documents\test.xlsb"


    strExt = Right(strPath, Len(strPath) - InStrRev(strPath, "."))
    MsgBox strExt
End Sub

What do you mean by "without using their extension"?
