    Question Multiple lookups returning value after string

    I am currently, just using the RIGHT formula to return the last 4 characters from the cell, but where i run into problems is when the number at the end is double digits, it cuts off the text portion. So i found some other formulas, but they don't quite work yet so I thought of trying to combine these. I thought i could search for the text items, then once found return anything after that. The two new formulas are as follows:

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-FIND(":",A2))


    and

    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =LOOKUP(9.999999999999999E+307,SEARCH(D$2:D$4,A2),D$2:D$4)


    Maybe there is an easier way. Basically, what should happen is the following:

    TEXT EXPECTED RESULT CURRENT RESULT LOOKUP DATA
    MCLBINDVARR1 AAR1 AAR1 ITR
    MCLBINDVMaj1 Maj1 Maj1 MAJ
    MCLBINDVMaj3 Maj3 Maj3 PMR
    MCLBINDVMaj14 Maj14 aj14
    MCLBINDVPMR1 PMR1
    [blank cell]
