Hi guys,
I'm working with a data set where have a lot of website links. The thing is that most of the links are personalized. For example https:// thisisatest/testing?wvideo=9gpspqefxd
What I need is to delete all the characters after the question mark (?) so that I would look like this:
https:// thisisatest/testing
I've already figured out the function to delete that which is =LEFT(A1,FIND("?",A1)-1). However, in the list, of websites, there are also links that don't have the question mark (?), therefore, when I apply the formula to all cells, the ones that don't have the (?) show me as #VALUE!
I thought of using an IF function but I've been struggling to make it work. This is the formula:
=IF(M2="?","(LEFT(M2,FIND("?",M2)-1))","M2")
It is supposed to find in A1 the character (?), and after the condition is met, it should do the rest but doesn't work.
I appreciate it if you can help me.
Thank you!

Search and select menu
From this menu you can select Search for cells and, if necessary, change text or formulas.
I would be happy to find out if I could help.
