How do I get the last 7 characters of a no. to another column?

I need to get the last 7 characters of a number in one column to another
column so I can sort them. The number is in the format 00-1234-12.

How do I get the last 7 characters of a no. to another column?

Is it a number, or is it a text string?
If the latter, try =RIGHT(A2,7)

Hope your data is in text format and not formatted to display as 00-0000-00
format. If you mean to extract 1234-12 from 00-1234-12; try..

=RIGHT(A1,7)
