Greetings, I am working on a project in I am needing to filter data that is automatically exported to a data table in excel from Microsoft forms. Each cell a particular column (We'll say A) contains up to as many of five links. The problem is, Microsoft Forms formats the exported data in such a way that the links are buried in a single block (With no spaces) of unnecessary text.
For example: [{"name":NameOfFile.xyz","link":"https://LinkToSharePointFile.xyz","id":"IDAssociatedWithUpload","Type":Null":"Size":SizeInMB,"ReferenceID":"LongReferenceID", etc.}]
Cells with multiple links will follow that same format, but the text boxes will loop into one another creating something looking like this.
[{"name":NameOfFile.xyz","link"https://LinkToSharePointFile.xyz","id":"IDAssociatedWithUpload","Type":Null":"Size":SizeInMB,"ReferenceID":"LongReferenceID", etc.}][{"name":NameOfFile.xyz","link":"https://LinkToSharePointFile.xyz","id":"IDAssociatedWithUpload","Type":Null":"Size":SizeInMB,"ReferenceID":"LongReferenceID", etc.}]
I am looking for way to have all of the unnecessary text removed, and have only the links displayed (as clickable hyperlinks).
After doing a little googling, I found a formula that almost works the way I need it to =HYPERLINK(MID(A1,FIND("https",A1),FIND("""",A1,FIND("https",A1))-FIND("https",A1))). The problem is, this will only return the first link in the block of text.
I'm definitely a novice when it comes to excel, so I would appreciate any help in getting this to work the way I am hoping, if that's even possible.
Thanks!
