IF Function based on a set of numbers?

I am trying to figure out how to do an IF function based on a set of numbers.
To be detailed, in column B I am inputing apartment unit numbers
(i.e-15472-101 or 15390-308) and in column G I would like it to tell me an
"R" or "L" based on the last digit. All units ending with 1,3,6, or 8 would
show a "L" and all units that end with 2,4,5,or 7 would show a "R". Does
anyone know how to write this formula? This is something that I currently
have to do manually 664 times and would love to have a formula do this for
me....

Here is one way. Use a formula like the following in column G:

=CHOOSE(RIGHT(B1,1),"L","R","L","R","R","L","R","L ")

This formula will not know what to do if the last digit is a zero or a nine.
We could check for these and other errors this way:

=IF(ISERROR(CHOOSE(RIGHT(B1,1),"L","R","L","R","R" ,"L","R","L")),"???",CHOOSE(RIGHT(B1,1),"L","R","L ","R","R","L","R","L"))

Hope this helps,

Thank you Hutch.

I tried your formula and I just recieved and error so I tried to use the
other formula and just recieved "???". The unit number that I am using is
472-101. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, there will not be any 0's or 9's for this property. I also need
another formula that will bo the same thing but using a unit number with a
Letter in it like 981A-IC where I would like it to pick up the "A" at the end
of the numbers. That number could be anything from A-H in that one slot. I
know that this one will probaly be a lot more complicated but thanks for any
help you can give me.

Nevermind, I figured that one out, I forgot to change the B1 to the correct
Cell number. LOL I just need help on the last one that I mentioned...

In the unit numbers with the letters, do they always follow the pattern of
your example (numbers, a letter, dash, more letters)? What do you want the
formula to return for the different letters (A-H)?

If you are interested, here is another formula you can use...

=IF(OR(--RIGHT(A11)={1,3,6,8}),"L","R")

They do always follow this exact pattern and I would like A, C, E, and G to
return an "R" and B, D, F, and H to return an "L".

Here are two ways:

=IF(OR(--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1,1)={"A","C","E","G"})),"R",IF(OR(--(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1,1)={"B","D","F","H"})),"L","???"))

Depending on your character set, this might not work for you (without
changing -64 to something else):
=CHOOSE(CODE(UPPER(MID(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1,1)))-64,"R","L","R","L","R","L","R","L")

Change the A1 references as needed in either formula.

Thank you Rick! I will keep that one for future use.
