When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Probably a quicker way but try

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\",CHAR(1),LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\","")))))

Give this formula a try...

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\",REPT(" ",300)),300))

...and here it is

=TRIM((RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"\",REPT(" ",500)),500)))

Oops, too late!
