=Mid Formula

[Chris waller]

I have a large number of spreadsheets that are saved each month in a
particular directory. On each of the spreadsheets I would like the name of
the month to display. I believe the formula is =Mid(“filenameâ€) to extract
the name from the filepath etc, but I cannot figure out how to automatically
make the whole name of the month appear. I know that the actual month starts
at character 85 and that immediately after the name of the month there is a
“\â€. Is it possible give the information above for someone to help? TIA

Chris can you post your entire file name?

 

[Chip Pearson]

Perhaps

=MID(S,85,FIND("\",S,85)-85)

Where S is the string containing the file information.

Sandy,

I cannot post the full name as it is at work and I will not be there until
Monday, but I will try to remember and post it on Monday evening.

Thanks for that. I will give it a go on Monday. Thanks once again.
