Google Sheets' RIGHT Function: Powerful Text Extraction

TextNow Sheets' RIGHT function is a versatile tool for text manipulation and data cleaning. It extracts a specified number of characters from the end of a text string, making it useful for tasks like isolating suffixes or specific digits.

The RIGHT function operates by counting characters from the right side of a string. If the optional parameter num_chars is omitted, it defaults to extracting the last character only. This function works with text, numbers, or mixed data in a cell.

Key applications include extracting suffixes, isolating specific digits, and cleaning and formatting text data. The RIGHT function can be combined with other functions like CONCATENATE, LEN, and FIND for advanced text manipulations and extractions. For example, to extract the last three characters of a string, you would use =RIGHT(text, 3).

The RIGHT function in TextNow Sheets is a powerful tool for dynamic text extraction and data cleaning. It becomes even more powerful when combined with other functions for advanced text manipulations. Whether you're isolating suffixes, specific digits, or cleaning text data, the RIGHT function is a valuable addition to your TextNow Sheets toolkit.
