RIGHT()

Text

Returns a specified number of characters from the end of a text string.

RIGHT(text, [num_chars])

RIGHT mirrors LEFT, pulling characters from the end of a string instead of the start. Omitting num_chars returns just the last character.

Combine with LEN when the piece you need is a fixed distance from the end but the total length varies, e.g. RIGHT(text, LEN(text)-4).

Arguments

text
The text to extract characters from.
num_charsoptional
How many characters to return, counting from the right. Defaults to 1.

Examples

=RIGHT("SKU-1049-BLK", 3)
BLK

Grabs the last 3 characters.
