RIGHT Function Tutorial

The RIGHT function in Excel is used to extract a specified number of characters from the right side of a text string. The syntax is:

=RIGHT(text, [num_chars])
  • text: The text string from which you want to extract characters.
  • num_chars: (Optional) The number of characters to extract. If omitted, it defaults to 1.

Example:
If cell A1 contains the text “Hello World”, the formula =RIGHT(A1, 5) will return “World”.

Notes:

  1. If num_chars is greater than the length of the text, the entire text is returned.
  2. If num_chars is omitted, only the last character is returned.
  3. The function is case-sensitive.

Use the RIGHT function to quickly extract specific parts of text strings, such as file extensions or suffixes.
