Extracting part of a cell to return in another cell

I'm trying to come up with a formula which will take the website URL in one cell, extract what's called the root domain (website.com) without www. or https:// or any url string after the .com

Here's a couple of examples of the value I have in the cell and what I would like it to return in a horizontal cell:

http://www.internationalrealestatedirectory.com/country/united_states/builders.htm->internationalrealestatedirectory.com

https://home-directory.biz->home-directory.biz

http://www.regionaldirectory.us/->regionaldirectory.us


Is this something that would be possible given, that there are multiple domain extensions and multiple scenarios that could be before the beginning of the domain? If so, help with the formula would be MUCH appreciated.

    Hi@Devon Eddy

    Try something like this.


    Start with adding three so-called helper columns.

    You can call them,Position,Contains, andNew

    Add the following formulas(the URL column is the one that includes you're starting URL)


    Position

    =FIND("/"; Contains@row)


    Contains

    =IF(CONTAINS("http://www.";URL@row); SUBSTITUTE(URL@row; "http://www.";""); IF(CONTAINS("https://";URL@row); SUBSTITUTE(URL@row; "https://";"")))


    New

    =LEFT(Contains@row; Find@row - 1)


    Depending on your country/region, you'll need to exchange the comma to a period and the semi-colon to a comma.


    This URLhttp://www.internationalrealestatedirectory.com/country/united_states/builders.htmwould show as internationalrealestatedirectory.com after the conversion.


    Make sense?


    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

I assume you have a header or something similar in row 1, and that is why you are starting in row 2? If you designate rows, you must use it on the range to sum as well as the ranges to evaluate.<\/p>
