Considerations when using the RIGHT function
- Text (required) – the text string from which you want to extract characters.
- Num_chars (optional) – the number of characters to extract, starting from the rightmost character.
- If num_chars is omitted, 1 last character of the string is returned (default).
- If num_chars is greater than the total number of characters in the string, all characters are returned.
- If num_chars is a negative number, a Right formula returns the #VALUE! error.
