Parsing \
Have a column called Manager Short Name. I want to parse out the ID after \, example EMEA\abcdf
I have tried many variations of
=RIGHT([Manager Short Name]@row, FIND("\", [Manager Short Name]@row) -1)
I get #unparseable
I have used this same formula in other columns but I have not had \ as the factor its been . or /. Some reason it doesn't appear to like the \ symbol.

Hi @mbennett
You are correct! Formulas are not a fan of the \ symbol as it's an escape character. We found on this other thread that adding it twice resolved the issue.
Try:
=RIGHT([Manager Short Name]@row, FIND("\\", [Manager Short Name]@row) -1)
Cheers,
Genevieve

Thank you Genevieve! The \\ worked. I did have to switch my formula up a bit because it wasn't grabbing everything to the right. Since the left side was consistent I parsed that off using
=MID([Manager Short Name]@row, FIND("\\", [Manager Short Name]@row) + 1, 8)
