Deleting end characters
I'm having difficulty trying to strip out the middle of a text string. Below is an example of the record as it is entered into Quickbase in the field [Name]:
[NYC OM] On Model - Standard - /10222018_NYS1_UNREC_M_1869_OUTPUT/ColorCorrect/
What I want to display in a new field is:
10222018_NYS1_UNREC_M_1869_OUTPUT/ColorCorrect
So far what I have working is:
NotLeft(Trim([Name]),"/")
This works to trim off the beginning so that I have
10222018_NYS1_UNREC_M_1869_OUTPUT/ColorCorrect/
However I really want to get rid of that trailing backslash at the end. The problem is that I also need to make sure I keep the backslash separating the word OUTPUT and ColorCorrect.
I can't find a formula that works. There must be a way to just look at the very end of the whole string and remove one character, I just can't figure it out.
