Default Parsing Last Character in variable length text field

I believe you'll want to use the RIGHT function.

e.g.,
=RIGHT(A1,1)

will return the rightmost letter of A1.

I need to pull the last character from the data in a text field. Problem is,
the data is not all the same length. Sample data:

BBD2
BPN10499B
BPN6499

What I need to do is parse out the last character so i can check to see if
it is a B and filter only those records.

Any help you can provide will be much appreciated!!

Thanks
