Is it possible to get the variable last text in a string after an underscore. There will always be an underscore before the last word but the length of the text is variable and the text contains letters and numbers. I would like to offset the returned text i.e C2 contains the text and G2 is where I would like to return the last text of the string. Can someone help with this please

Assuming the value is in cell A1 then you may try this below VBA code in immediate window:

Code:
split([A1],"_")(len([A1])-len(replace([A1],"_","")))

or

Code:
split([A1],"_")(ubound(split([A1],"_")))

Or a formula:

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(C2,"_",REPT(" ",LEN(C2))),LEN(C2)))

Or...

Mid([A1], InStrRev([A1], "_") + 1)
