David meant:

=--right(a1,5)

if you want it as a number.

The -- is the same thing as multiplying by -1 twice. But it also changes the
text value (returned from the =right() function) to a real number.

If you want the last 5 characters, use =RIGHT(A1,5) if you want it as text,
or =RIGHT(A1,5) if you want it as a number.
