Hi - This formula takes any url and removes everything that I want except that it does not remove the forward slash and all characters after that.


Code:
=IFERROR(MID(B10, FIND("^", SUBSTITUTE(B10,".","^", LEN(B10)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(B10, ".", ""))-IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH(OR(".co.",".com."), B10)), 2, 1)))+1, 100),B10)


The formula evaluates the items in the left column to the result in the right, but what I am looking for is for every url example in the left column to generate "woohoo.com" as a result of the formula in the right column, regardless of the top level domain extension (.com, .ru. .co, .net, .jp etc -in those cases it would generate woohoo.com, woohoo.ru, woohoo.net, woohoo.jp etc.).


http://www.bob.woohoo.com woohoo.com
http://www.bob.woohoo.com/ woohoo.com/
http://www.bill.woohoo.com woohoo.com
http://www.bill.woohoo.com/folder1 woohoo.com/folder1
http://www.bill.woohoo.com/folder1/ woohoo.com/folder1/
http://www.bill.woohoo.com/folder1/folder2 woohoo.com/folder1/folder2
http://www.bill.woohoo.com/folder1/folder2/ woohoo.com/folder1/folder2/
http://bill.woohoo.com woohoo.com
www.bill.woohoo.com woohoo.com
bill.woohoo.com woohoo.com


I would really appreciate help getting that formula to achieve that (if it is possible).


Thanks very much in advance!

Oh, OK. Thanks. But the problem is the table is gone now so I think it'd be hard for Rick to understand...Can you put that back in there? Thanks!

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
No, and please stay in your own thread. I purposefully moved your posts to your own thread. I put a link to it in this thread.

Sorry for bumping it 5 years later, but this was the best formula for this question that I've found online! Just one downside - it doesn't 1 word TLDs like www.this.co or test.this.co - can you add support to them?

It is not clear from your post which formula you were thinking was the "best formula for this question", but I would note that the formula I posted in Message #19 returns "this.co" and "test.this.co"for you two URLs which is what the OP for this thread would have been looking for... were you wanting a different response? If so, what answers would you like for those two? Depending on your answer, I will probably have follow up questions.

Sorry, the formula I meant was in post #16. I clicked reply under it and thought it will be shown.
Your post #16's formula was much better in my eyes than your post #19's! Your post #19's formula doesn't strip any subdomains other than www. For example, no support for this.foobar.com
