Extract text after last slash (/) sign

I have a field with the following texts for example:

 

 - Test Cases/On Premise Web-Admin/Add Camera

- Test Cases/On Premise Web-Admin/Admin_Login

- Test Cases/On Premise Web-Admin/Check Services

and so on.

I'd like to extract the text but from the position of the last '/' until the end of the text, so the new values will be:

 - Add Camera

- Admin_Login

- Check Services

Can you assist?

Thanks,

Eli.

Hi,

Index(<fieldname>,'/',-1) , will give you the position of the last forward slash ('/') character in the field (replace <fieldname>  with the name of your field.

So, just use something like:-

=Mid(fieldname,Index(fieldname,'/',-1)+1 ,len(fieldname)) to just get the text after the slash

or, if you want to include the ' - ' at the beginning:-

=Left(fieldname,2) & Mid(fieldname,Index(fieldname,'/',-1)+1 ,len(fieldname))

Hi @EliGohar ,

You can use subfield(Fieldname,'/',-1)  [ -1 retrieves the data from the position of the last]

Hope this answer helps you!

Thanks!
