RIGHT / Print on Demand

Get Design ID from Filename

I need the last 6 characters of the file name to match the artwork with the order.

=RIGHT(A2, 6)

How it works: The RIGHT function extracts a specified number of characters from the end (right side) of a text string. In this scenario, `A2` refers to the cell containing the filename, and `6` specifies that we want to extract the last 6 characters, which represent the unique design ID for order matching with customer orders.
