# TEXTAFTER
## Content

## Syntax
`TEXTAFTER(text,delimiter,[instance_num], [match_mode], [match_end], [if_not_found])`
## Arguments
The function has the following arguments:
| Argument | Description |
| -------- | ----------- |
| *text* | Refers to the text you are searching within. Wildcard characters are not allowed. |
| *delimiter* | Refers to the text that marks the point after which you want to extract. |
| *instance\_num* | [Optional] Refers to the instance of the delimiter after which you want to extract the text.
By default, instance\_num = 1. In case of a negative number, the text is searched from the end. |
| *match\_mode* | [Optional] Determines whether the text search is case-sensitive. The default is case-sensitive. You can enter one of the following:- **0** Case sensitive.
- **1** Case insensitive
|
| *match\_end* | [Optional] Treats the end of the text as a delimiter. By default, the text is an exact match. You can enter one of the following:- **0** Don't match the delimiter against the end of the text
- **1** Match the delimiter against the end of the text
|
| *if\_not\_found* | [Optional] Refers to the value returned if no match is found. By default, #N/A is returned. |
## Data Types
Returns string data.
## Remarks
The TEXTAFTER function matches immediately when searching using an empty delimiter value. It returns the entire text when searching from the front (if instance\_num is positive) and, empty text when searching from the end (if instance\_num is negative).
