I am guessing this is an easy question, but I can't figure out how to do it. I need to strip out a number at the end of a string in my spreadsheet. The exact format of the string will vary (length, position of spaces, number of spaces, etc.) but the number is always at the end, and always follows the last space. Is there a way to find it and copy (or move) it to the next cell?
Thanks!

the first will give the stripped version of a2
=left(trim(a2),len(trim(a2))-1) =right(trim(a2),1)
the second will give the last character of a2
the trim() is to make sure there is a readable character
RCM,
That doesn't seem to do what I need. here is a sample file. hopefully that will make things clearer.
b4 =SUBSTITUTE(A4&"^",C4&"^","")
c4=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A4," ",REPT(" ",20)),4))
