LinkBack URL
About LinkBacks
I have a set of URLs that end with a numeric ID of variable length (max 15 characters). The beginning of the numeric ID is always preceded by a forward slash. How do I create function to strip out the numeric ID only? Thanks.
Removing variable length numeric ID from the end of a URL
I have a set of URLs that end with a numeric ID of variable length (max 15 characters). The beginning of the numeric ID is always preceded by a forward slash. How do I create function to strip out the numeric ID only? Thanks.
Without an example, you could try:
=MID(A1,FIND("/",A1)+1,LEN(A1))
Assuming the first cell with data you are trying to strip out is A1.
- Moo
try
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("/",A1))
Life's a spreadsheet, Excel!
Say thanks, Click *
I realized I forgot to include a key fact. The URLs will have more than one forward slash e.g., https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-D...37213556295908
Try
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/",REPT(" ",255)),255))
when you say remove ,do wish to capture the number or the string before the number? or split and get both
