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.html10.22.88.11
http://242.25.23.7/ede/vkjd/tt.html242.25.23.7
etc

Any help gratefully received. Many thanks.

yeah, I saw that, but didn't want to be such a perfectionist, but thanks again.

I have been away for a while & I note that you have a satisfactory solution but you did earlier indicate that you were interested in a vba solution. In case that still is of interest to you, this user-defined function produces the same results as the power query - at least for the sample data in post #32.

VBA Code: 
Function IP(s As String) As String
  With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
    .Pattern = "((\d{1,3}\.){1,3}\d{1,3})"
    If .Test(s) Then IP = .Execute(s)(0)
  End With
End Function

Hi,

If I want to extract multiple IPs in one string?

Welcome to the MrExcel board!

What about you give us some sample data (say 8-12 rows showing the sort of variety that can occur with your data) and the expected results, preferably with XL2BB so that we can copy/paste for testing. That way we would have some idea of what your data is actually like and how you would like the results presented. Otherwise, we are simply guessing. ;)
