Final answer:

To extract text to the right of a character in Excel, use the RIGHT and FIND functions to locate and retrieve that portion of the string.To get everything to the right of a character in Excel, you can use the MID function combined with the FIND function.

Step-by-step explanation:

To get everything to the right of a character in Microsoft Excel, you can use a combination of the RIGHT and FIND functions. The FIND function helps locate the position of a specific character within a string, and the RIGHT function is then used to retrieve all characters to the right of that found position.

For example, if you have a cell A1 with the value "Apple:Red" and you want to extract "Red", you can use this formula: =RIGHT(A1, LEN(A1) - FIND(":", A1)). Here, the FIND function determines the position of the colon character, and the RIGHT function extracts everything after the colon taking into account the total length of the string.
