Is this possible?

Say I had data in a cell that had a load of commas in it, and I wanted only the text after the last comma, is this possible? Unfortunately I cannot get excel to split data into cells by commas and then delete as there isn't a uniform number of commas in the cells in question.

Thanks in advance

Try...

=TRIM(REPLACE(A1,1,SEARCH("^^",SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","^^",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",","")))),""))

Hope this helps!
