RIGHT(Text, Number_chars)

where,

  • Text is a text string containing characters to extract,
  • Number_chars represents the number of characters to be extracted.

RIGHT() displays the last character or characters from a text string, depending on the specified number of characters.

Description

RIGHT(txt)

e.g. RIGHT("String",2) displays ng as a result.

  • RIGHT counts 1 byte per character. RIGHT works with the languages that use 'Single Byte Character Set' (SBCS).
  • Text can be any string containing characters, numbers, symbols, blank spaces etc.
  • If argument Text is directly entered in the command, it should be enclosed in double quotes (e.g. "Name").
  • Argument Number_chars indicates the number of characters to be displayed from a text string. Number_chars should be >0.
  • If Number_chars >'length of text', Calci displays all the text.
  • If Number_chars is omitted, Calci assumes it to be 1.

Examples

Consider the following examples as input to RIGHT() function.
