in my spreadsheet there are a lot of cells that contain a text like "T:\DEPLOY\NETHERLAND\SAPBEHEER\SOURCESPACKAGE\ZCB\ABAP/CLASSPOOL/ZCL_CB_PROJECT/CLASS/ZCL_CB_PROJECT/METHOD/SET_PROJECT_SUB_PROJ"

From this cell i need to substract the last part (after the last "/"') in this case: SET_PROJECT_SUB_PROJ
and the one before the last "/" in this case "METHOD" and store both in a different cell

is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Test for Multiple Conditions in IF?
Use AND(test, test, test, test) or OR(test, test, test, ...) as the logical_test argument of IF.

A3=TRIM(RIGHT(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/",REPT(" ",100)),200),100))
A4=TRIM(LEFT(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/",REPT(" ",100)),200),100))


If method is supposed to appear first then it's even easier

Hi,

I think sheetspread meant this for A3 formula:

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/",REPT(" ",100)),100))
