    RIGHT Formula not giving expected results

    Good morning!
    I am working on concatenating a date, the results of two RIGHT formulas and a randomly generated number. The concatenation is working perfectly but the Right formulas are not acting as expected.

    There are two Right formulas, essentially identical except for the the target cells.

    C12 contains the name Bob Segerorni
    C17 contains the name Ronnie VanZantalous

    The first formula gives me the last 5 letters of the last name in C12
    The second formula gives me the last 7 letters of the last name in C17
    I had expected to get an entire last name from each formula.
    I'm not sure where I went wrong, maybe I need to add a parameter somewhere but I'm not having any luck figuring out where
    Any thoughts or suggestions will be very gratefully accepted
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Re: RIGHT Formula not giving expected results

    I would alter boopathiraja's a little to add a trim to it as his leaves a space at the front.
    so this...
    =TRIM(UPPER(MID(C17,SEARCH(" ",C17),LEN(C17))))
    should take care of the beginning space.
