RIGHT Function - Excel
Overview
The RIGHT function in Excel is a useful tool for extracting a specified number of characters from the end (right side) of a text string.
Example:
=RIGHT("Elephant", 3)
Syntax:
=RIGHT(text, num_chars)
text
: This is the text string from which you want to extract characters.
num_chars
: This is the number of characters you want to extract from the right side of the text
.
Example
In this example, the RIGHT function returns the value “king” because we plugged in the word “Hiking” into the function and selected that we only wanted to pull 4 characters from the right side.
