I need to write a formula that can retrieve the number between the 4th "/" to the next "-"
Here's an example of the URL structure
https://www.example.com/category-name/1234-product-name
I've managed to get it done when the category name is ONE word like following URL with formula below. https://www.example.com/category/1234-product-name
=MID(LEFT(A2,FIND("-",A2)-1),FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A2,"/","#",4))+1,255)
Result = 1234
The problem is that I can't rely on the category name always being one word... And the product name can also vary in characters so i can't start from right counting the "-"
Any tips & tricks? :)
You need the break the problem and then solve it.
=MID(B1,FIND("/",B1)+1, IFERROR(FIND("-",B1,FIND("/",B1)), LEN(B1) + 1) - FIND("/",B1)-1)
Explanation
=MID(TEXT, STARTING CHARACTER, NO OF CHARACTERS)
=MID(TEXT , WHERE FIRST '/' EXISTS , WHERE '-' EXISTS - WHERE FIRST '/' EXISTS )
and for removing the domain
=REPLACE(A1,1,LEN("https://www.example.com/"),"")
