Extract single IP address from a string

[IanPC]

Hello - I have a spreadsheet of URLs, some of which contain IP addresses and some don't. I'm struggling to write an excel formula that will identify the URLs with IP addresses in them, and extract that IP address into another cell. What formula would I paste down column B to achieve this?

URL (column A)	Desired output (column B)
http://sample.domain/the/eed/dhgg.html	[#Error of some kind]
http://10.22.88.11/eid/tedld/ed.html	10.22.88.11
http://242.25.23.7/ede/vkjd/tt.html	242.25.23.7
etc

Any help gratefully received. Many thanks.

Sandy,

Thank you so much for the quick response. After learning about how power query works, I was able to implement this to some success. However, if the source field contains any other numbers in the value, those numbers get extracted as well. Is there a way to eliminate the extra numbers or will I just have to manually remove those from the output?

Example:

source	IP
programvideoqoe_sentry_sugarhill_86 (172.24.164.155)_TVONE0000NSS_17_E1079-71	86172.24.164.155000017107971

sorry mate it seems your original example was not representative so post representative example with more than one row
or
use another solutions

My apologies on my original example not being fully representative. Here is an example of about 25 rows:

[sandy666]

this is IP?
000008239.240.0.182
0410107.8.2.116
903172.26.108.182
this is even not IPv6

 

[Faker4442]

You are correct, those ones are not IPs because the query is pulling the other numbers in the value and including it in the output. The value on the left is the source for the query and the output from the query is on the right.

Output from the query:
000008239.240.0.182
0410107.8.2.116
903172.26.108.182

What I need the output from the query to be:

239.240.0.182
107.8.2.116
172.26.108.182

sure, here is

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Replace = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,"_"," ",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"source"}),
    TAD = Table.AddColumn(Replace, "TAD", each Text.AfterDelimiter([source], " ", {0, RelativePosition.FromEnd}), type text)
in
    TAD
