RIGHTB(Text, Number_bytes)

where,

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

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

Description

RIGHTB(Text, Number_bytes)

e.g. RIGHTB("String123",3) displays 123 as a result.

• RIGHTB counts 2 bytes per character when system is set to language supporting DBCS, else counts 1 byte per character.
• RIGHTB works with the languages that use 'Double Byte Character Set' (DBCS).
• 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_bytes indicates the number of byte characters to be displayed from a text string. Number_bytes should be >0.
• If Number_bytes > 'length of text', Calci displays the entire text.
• If Number_bytes is omitted, Calci assumes it to be 1.

Examples

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

<#!#>
JOHN SMITH
123*123

=RIGHTB(A1,4) : Displays last 4 characters in a string from cell A1. Displays #!#> as the output. 
=RIGHTB(A2,6) : Displays last 6 characters in a string from cell A2. Displays  SMITH as the output. 
Space Character is also counted.
=RIGHTB(A3) : Displays last character in a string from cell A3. Displays 3 as the output.
=RIGHTB("Good Morning",20) :Displays the full text string Good Morning as the output.
