Examples
RIGHT("123 Maple Dr", 5) : le Dr
RIGHT("123 Maple Dr", 0) returns blank.
Fractional Component of Decimal Value
The fractional component of a Decimal value in the Result column:
NUMBER(
RIGHT(
TEXT([Result]),
(LEN(TEXT([Result]))
- FIND(".", TEXT([Result])))
)
)-
TEXT([Result])converts the Decimal value to a Text value. The textual functions used in this example interpret non-textual values differently. Using TEXT() ensures the Result column value is interpreted the same by each function. -
FIND(".", ...)locates the decimal point in the value. -
(LEN(...) - FIND(...))calculates the length of the fractional component by subtracting the length of the non-fraction part from the entire length. -
RIGHT(..., ...)extracts the fractional part. -
NUMBER(...)converts the extracted text to a Number.

Street Name from Street Address
Everything after the first word of a street address, which is typically the street name:
RIGHT([Address], (LEN([Address]) - FIND(" ", [Address])))-
FIND(" ", [Address])locates the first/leftmost space in the Address column value. -
LEN([Address]) - FIND(...)calculates the length of the Address column value beyond the first space by subtracting the length of the text preceding the first space from the total length. -
RIGHT([Address], ...)returns the rightmost text following the first space.
Syntax
RIGHT( some-text , how-many )
Arguments
- some-text (any textual type)
- how-many (Number) : The number of characters from some-text to return. Non-Number values may be accepted but may produce unexpected results.
Return Value
Text: The last how-many characters from some-text. If how-many is greater than the length of some-text or less than 0, some-text is returned in its entirety.
