    other Column B contains entries like this

    Re: Formula Extract hostname only from the domain

    Hi and welcome to the forum!

    Can you guarantee that, for column A entries, your desired extraction will always be the characters from the start of the string upto the first full-stop?

    And that, for column B entries, your desired extraction will always be the characters between the first and second full-stops?

    If you can't, and there are variations on the above which you haven't given, could you please do so?

    Regards

    Yes for column A entries, your desired extraction will always be the characters from the start of the string upto the first full-stop

    In columns B , yes its complicated as there are many variations in the entries , i need both : characters between 1 and 2nd dot and also character to the first full stop eg:

    people.com
    tools.apple.com
    www.google.co.uk,

    Re: Formula Extract hostname only from the domain

    Sorry. I don't understand your additional comment re column B entries.

    To clarify things, please upload a workbook with a dozen or so examples and your expected result in each case. Make sure that your examples cover all variations in the types of strings we are dealing with.

    Regards
