Hi Everyone

I have done a bit of VBA coding but usually it involves modifying existing code I have found on forums such as these - so I am at a fairly basic level.
In particular I have little to no experience in writing excel functions.

I am working with two different types of Google Map URL's where I need to extract the latitude and longitude in each case.

These are the two different "types" of Google Map URL's I am dealing with.

(1) 25°03'32.9"N 55°10'05.2"E

(2) 25°04'57.1"N 55°09'42.7"E · Dubai - United Arab Emirates

I need a two separate functions (or even one if its possible) to be able to extract the latitude and longitude in both cases.
I can use simple excel functions such as find, len, mid, etc and ask the specific questions of each URL to arrive at the right answer but it feels like a very rudimentary way to accomplish this task.

If anyone could help me either with a workable function or point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

I was only able to find a function that separated map URLs in this format (Google Maps) -- where it starts with an @ and is divided by comma's on this forum. I tried to rejig that function to deal with these other types of URL's but without success.

Any/all help appreciated for the project I am working on -- and to be able to understand and write excel functions.

Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Perhaps the google URL's didn't show properly on my post.
Here is a picture of them so you know the specific traits of each.
Thank you.
