Formula Help

Hi,

Can someone help me with a formula in excel 2007?

I need to take out the user name from a link which comes after https://twitter.com/ and before another /

The links are in column A as follows

https://twitter.com/Oprah_World/test/484977526960570368

Use this formula in B2:

=LEFT(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"https://twitter.com/",""),FIND("/",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"https://twitter.com/",""))-1)

then copy down.

Next time, use a thread title which is more descriptive of your problem - see Rule 01 at the top of the page.

Hope this helps.

Pete

Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution.

Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.
