FIND returns the position where it occurs. You just got lucky that the first two examples have 7 character numbers (including the space) and 7 character strings. As soon as your number was shortened, and the space character is now found at position 5, so RIGHT is returning the 5 right hand characters. If you add or remove characters in the top two examples, you'd see the problem is there, too, just hidden.
You need to subtract the LEN of the string from the result of the find to yield the proper value for RIGHT.

Yes! Thanks Pauleyb - if anyone needs, here's the formula for that cell =RIGHT(A3,LEN(A3)-FIND(" ",A3))
Try this
Enter formula in B1 and drag formula across to C1 and down

Thanks for showing us that. There are obviously many ways of getting the same answers in excel, here are some more options...
B1=--LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1))
C1=MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,99)
This assumes that that space will always be there to split the text and number
1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
