Default Text to columns

I have a column and all I need is the last 5 characters in this field.
Problem is that this field has various text lengths. How can I get the last
5 characters and delete the rest. My spreadsheet has 1,000 or so lines.

This Column looks like this:

AESGROUPGR123
AESGROUPGR457
AESGROUPGR236
SECTIOGR046
MSGTYHSYHSYHGR123
MSGTYHSYYHGR123

My first thought was to make ths column flush right in Text to columns, but
I do not see that making it flush right is an option. Ideas?

Thanks.
