Let's look at some Excel RIGHT function examples and explore how to use the RIGHT function as a worksheet function in Microsoft Excel:

Microsoft Excel

Based on the Excel spreadsheet above, the following RIGHT examples would return:

=RIGHT(A1, 4) Result: "soup" =RIGHT("techonthenet", 6) Result: "thenet" =RIGHT(A2, 6) Result: "et.com" =RIGHT("Excel", 3) Result: "cel" =RIGHT("Microsoft") Result: "t"
