Default refer to text

You had the answer earlier. Use MID instead of right.

Thanks T. Valko. The answer only let me get "0", but cannot get 6,
5.... as I need to get each digit seperately. Can you help what
should I do?

Thanks a lot.

Try this:

=RIGHT(TEXT(A1,"###0.00"))

thanks a lot. It helps. But seems doesn't work on my case. For
example: 12,345.60 in A1, in b1, I want to display "0", which is
the last digit of 12,345.60. so I set

=mid(a1, len(a1)-0, 1)

the answer comes to "6" in stead of "0". How can I change the
formula to get
"0"?

thanks in advance.

number, e.g.
12,520.70, how can a formula to display "5" in B1?

thanks in advance.
