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

Give this formula a try...

=MID(LEFT(A1,FIND("\",A1,85)-1),85,9)
