Hey team, I need help! I have a column with multiple LinkedIn URLs separated by commas, like this:
https://www.linkedin.com/in/giorgiomolinaro, https://www.linkedin.com/in/matteo-moretto-4210b21a4, https://www.linkedin.com/in/roberta-b-3159863a
I want to split these into separate columns — one LinkedIn URL per column (e.g. LinkedIn 1, LinkedIn 2, LinkedIn 3). How can I do that? I tried using the formula generator, but I couldn't get the output I wanted... Made different tweaks and still hitting the wall. Any advice? TY!!
The formula generator creates a single output column, not multiple separate columns. To split your comma-separated LinkedIn URLs into individual columns (LinkedIn 1, LinkedIn 2, LinkedIn 3), here's what to do:
Method 1: Extract individual URLs using formulas
Create separate formula columns for each URL position
Use formulas like: • LinkedIn 1: Extract the first URL from the list • LinkedIn 2: Extract the second URL from the list • LinkedIn 3: Extract the third URL from the list
Method 2: Use "Add as column" feature
Click on a cell containing your comma-separated URLs
In the Cell details panel, hover over the individual URL values
Click "Add as column" to create a new column for each URL [1]
Alternatively, if you want to process the comma-separated data first, use Extract Data From Values with the regex [^,"]+"?[^,"]+ to split the values into a list, then map them to separate columns. [2]
