function in Excel is used to extract a specified number of characters from the end (right side) of a text string. Below are 10 examples of how you can use the RIGHT
function, including data and formulas:
Example 1: Basic Usage
Data: "Hello World"
Formula: =RIGHT(A1, 5)
Result: "World"
Explanation: Extracts the last 5 characters from the text in cell A1.
Example 2: Extracting File Extensions
Data: "report.docx"
Formula: =RIGHT(A2, 4)
Result: ".docx"
Explanation: Extracts the last 4 characters, which is the file extension.
Example 3: Dynamic Length Extraction
Data: "123-456-7890"
Formula: =RIGHT(A3, LEN(A3) - FIND("-", A3))
Result: "456-7890"
Explanation: Extracts everything after the first hyphen.
Example 4: Extracting Last Word
Data: "Excel Functions"
Formula: =RIGHT(A4, LEN(A4) - FIND(" ", A4))
Result: "Functions"
Explanation: Extracts the last word by finding the space and taking everything after it.

Explanation: Combines LEFT
, MID
, and RIGHT
to reconstruct the original string.
Example 8: Extracting Domain from Email
