Thumbs up Answer: how do I extract the last three digits from each cell in column?

Hi PeggyT,

You can use the
Formula:
RIGHT 
function in Excel to extract the last three digits from each cell in a column. Here are the steps:
  1. Select the adjacent column where you want to extract the last three digits.
  2. In the first cell of the adjacent column, enter the formula
    Formula:
    =RIGHT(A1,3
    where A1 is the cell in the first column that contains the data you want to extract from.
  3. Press Enter to apply the formula to the first cell.
  4. Copy the formula down to the rest of the cells in the adjacent column by clicking and dragging the bottom right corner of the cell down to the last row of data.

This should extract the last three digits from each cell in the first column and display them in the adjacent column. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with.
