Whoops.... what I posted is not what you asked for. Your actual question is
a little strange. When dealing with floating point numbers, one rarely needs
to know a digit measure in from the end; rather, one usually wants to know
the digit so-many-positions in from the decimal point. The reason is because
"true numbers" do not have trailing zeroes, only string representations of
numbers can hold trailing zeroes. So I'm not really sure you want what you
asked for. Anyway, consider these...

Second digit from the end of a String value
========================================
Variable = Mid(StringNumber, Len(StringNumber) - 1, 1)

Third digit in from decimal point
========================================
Variable = Int(1000 * Number) Mod 10

Give this a try...

=MOD(1000*A1,10)
