Get the file name from the full path name

The following assumes a full path name is in cell A2 for example:

A2: C:\Laptop_backup\Flash Drive grey\Save\50 per day.xls

B2: =RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND("@",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"\","@",LEN(A2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"\",""))),1))

The following VBA code will also get the file name


Function GetFileName(s)
for i = len(s) to 1 step -1
    if mid(s,i,1) = "/" then
       Getfilename = mid(s,i)
       exit for
    end if
next
end function
