Excel的左和右公式错误地拆分单元格

Question

I am trying to do something very basic--take a list of emails and web urls in one column, and split them into a column for emails, and the other for the urls.

To accomplish this, I have tried the following formulas:

=LEFT(A2, SEARCH(" ",A2,1))

And

=RIGHT(A2, SEARCH("  ",A2,1))

Should the format of the first column be [Email] [URL] it SHOULD split this so the the column with the first function receives the emails, whereas the second would receive the URL's.

However, this is not the case. Instead, I get something ugly, like this:

As you can see, in the first cell, it works perfectly fine. However, in the lower cells you can clearly see things break. Values overlap, like in row 6 column 3... why? There are clearly no additional spaces besides those between the email and url in the first column.

Answer 1

SEARCH(" ",A2,1) finds the first space location from the LEFT .

So it is passing that number to the RIGHT() Function which expects the number of characters wanted from the RIGHT not the LEFT .

Use:

=RIGHT(A2, LEN(A2) - SEARCH("  ",A2,1))

Answer 2

The search returns the length of the email, so in your formula you are taking the right-most quantity equal to the length of the email and not the website. You need to use:

=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-SEARCH(" ",A2,1))

Answer 3

如果您不想在每一行使用http：// ，这就是您的陈述， 如您所见，在第一个单元格中，它运行得很好 ，您可以使用

=RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)-SEARCH("/",A2,1)-1)
