The Power BI RIGHT function is one of the DAX text functions useful to return the given number of rightmost or last characters from the given string. This article explains the DAX RIGHT function that accepts the original text and the number of last characters(integer value) and the syntax is shown below:
RIGHT(<text>, <num_chars>)
text: The original string column that acts as the reference point to extract the last characters.
num_chars: It’s an optional argument and the default value is 1. If you specify any number, the DAX RIGHT function returns the mentioned last or rightmost characters from <text>. The RIGHT function on numeric columns converts them to text and returns the last characters. For instance, RIGHT(12345, 2) returns 45.
