Extracting Subdirectory/Subfolder URL in a URL

I'd like to do the following in Excel using one formula:

http://subdomain.domain/subdirectory/url.php --> subdomain.domain/subdirectory
https://subdomain.domain/url.php --> subdomain.domain/url.php
http://www.subdomain.domain/subdirectory/url.php --> subdomain.domain/subdirectory

So basically, I only need subdomain.domain/directory

I already searched for formulas or add ins online but can't seem to find any formula for this. I only found a formula for subdomain.domain and url location.


I'm currently trying to modify these 2 formulas I got from nice people in another website, but I just can't figure out how!:



FIRST FORMULA:


<code><code></code>
=SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,FIND("@",SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/","@",(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"/","")))/LEN("/")))-1),"http://www.",""),"https://www.","")</code><code></code>




SECOND FORMULA:

<code><code><code></code>
=MID(A1,8,FIND("/",MID(A1,8,LEN(A1)),FIND("/",MID(A1,8,LEN(A1)))+1)-1)<code></code>


</code>
</code>[TABLE="class: grid, width: 10, align: left"]

Any help will be highly appreciated.

I want the formula to return the subdomain.domain/subdirectory of a url if there's a subdirectory and subdomain.domain/url.php (or the original url without http:// or https: //) if it doesn't have any subdirectory or subfolder

For the second formula, someone said if I only want the first slash wrap it in SUBSTITUTE instead of MID/LEN? I can't figure it out! I'm no genius when it comes to formulas in Excel. :-/

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Hi, this worked phenomenally, but how would I modify the formula to exclude the domain name? let's say instead of example.com/subfolder I just really wanted /subfolder. Thanks!
