    Help me to use Substr function in Excel

    Hello,

    I am working on extracting data from a database using VBA.

    I now need to make few calculations on the data obtained. i.e i have created a new column whose data is based on this formula ----------> Substr ( Fullname, 0, Instr ( Fullname, "/", 0, 4 ) )

    where Fullname has the value ----> /10000000_IT/10340000_Video Conferencing/10344000_Bundle/10344045_VC Appliance/Polycom 2200-76300-650-- v1.01/
