            RIGHT

            Returns the specified number of characters from the end of a text string.

            Use

            RIGHT(text, num_chars) and replace text with the field or expression you want returned; replace num_chars with the number of characters from the right you want returned.

            Tips

            • Reference auto-number fields as text fields in formulas.
            • If the num_chars value is less than zero, Salesforce replaces the value with zero.
            Formula Example
            Formula Example TRIM(LEFT(LastName, 5))&"-"&TRIM(RIGHT(SSN__c, 4)) displays the first five characters of a name and the last four characters of a social security number separated by a dash. Note that this formula assumes you have a text custom field called SSN
