    Capture Query String From URL

    Hi Guys,

    Long time reader, first time poster...

    I was wondering if someone could help with an issue I am having. I can't seem to capture the query string from the parameter utm_content="value" - I would like to return the value using a search function however I can't get anything to work.

    String is here:

    utm_source=FACEBOOK&utm_medium=SOCIAL&utm_content=PAID-F1-IMAGE-AUSTRIA&utm_campaign=ACQUISITION-PROSPECTING&sport=formula-one

    I would like to return the value in bold exclusively in a cell.

    Thanks,

    You could use a formula:
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Or a small vba user defined function:

    Used as:
    Formula: copy to clipboard 
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    you can do this assuming your string is in A1

    its ugly as hell but it will pull out the string between utm_content= and &utm this assumes that the strings always follow this principle.........


    edit:
    the VBA above is better option btw. and looks like above poster has it covered.
