Extract text after the last comma using formulas

You can use the "RIGHT" and "FIND" functions in Excel to extract text after the last comma:

• First, use the "FIND" function to locate the position of the last comma in the cell.

Syntax: =FIND(",",A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1)

1. A1 is the cell containing the text.
2. The 3rd argument of the FIND function specifies the starting position for the search. It calculates the total number of characters in the cell (LEN(A1)) and subtracts the number of characters in the cell without commas (LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))) and adds 1.

• Next, use the "RIGHT" function to extract the text after the last comma.

Syntax: =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1)+1)

1. The 2nd argument of the RIGHT function specifies the number of characters to extract. It calculates the total number of characters in the cell (LEN(A1)) and subtracts the position of the last comma (FIND(",",A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1)) and adds 1.

Combine the above two steps into one formula:

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND(",",A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,",",""))+1)+1)
