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

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
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.
