Excel在公式中查找和替换文本

Question

I have 3 columns: A and B contain numbers, and C has a html link. I want to replace numbers in the html link with the numbers from columns A & B.

Can anyone tell me how I can do this? I tried using the replace function, but it doesnt work for multiple variables.

Example: random.com/do?ID=1111&SourceID=2222 I'd replace 1111 with ID columan A 617 and 2222 with sourceID column B 2

SourceID LocationID link
617     2           random.com/do?ID=1111&SourceID=2222 
1878     39         random.com/do?ID=1111&SourceID=2222  
4148     48         random.com/do?ID=1111&SourceID=2222

Answer 1

I would not use the replace formula here because it requires a "position and length" which will change once you update the link with a new value from SourceID or LocationID and the logic to figure out the new location is overkill and not needed.

Instead you can use the Substitute formula instead which I think is more readable and easier to implement. This formula replaces "text" with "text"

If you use 2 Substitutes (1 outer and 1 nested) you can replace both strings in one line. Try putting this in column D

=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(C1,"1111",A1),"2222",B1)

and you can auto-fill down
