Default Can I use an "If, then" function here...

Try the below formula in B1 with your entry in A1.

=RIGHT(A1,IF(LEFT(A1,1)="R",5,4))

If this post helps click Yes

I have a range of accounts:

022.9700
000.4500
001.9600
r100.R9500


For those with no "r" I want to use a function of:

=right(cell location, count four characters from the right)


So for the first line the value returned would be:

9700

But for the fourth line I would like the value returned to be:

R9500

How would I adjust my formula so that I just use one formula for the whole
range of data?

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks!
