Hello,



I have a file path in cell D11 R:\ABC\AIS\GREM\DATA_NSO\Data\Dashboard Reports\Region1\ and I would like to return the value of Region1.

Can someone please assist?
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Try the formula:

Code:
=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(D11,"\",REPT(" ",100)),(LEN(D11)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(D11,"\",""))-1)*100,32767))

Note that this will depend on having the trailing "" as you've advised.

HTH.
