How can I extract URL from hyperlinks?

tachyglossus I think I found a better way using Flash Fill.

1. If Column A contains the Hyperlink text, click on the first two links (e.g. A1 and A2). Then copy/paste those two URL to notepad. You need this text to get Flash Fill to work.

2. Make a new column in excel for the URL, for example Column B

3. In B1 start typing in the URL from notepad that matches the link in Cell A1.  Type the URL exactly as it appears in notepad

4. Once completed, in B2, start typing the next URL from notepad, Excel's Flash Fill will take over and suggest the URLs for all remaining cells.

No formulas, no Macros, No VBA.

non-coding way:

1. ALT + F9 (to show the hyperlinks)
2. file -> options (at the bottom left of the screen) -> advanced -> print field codes instead of their values
3. change the page size so the hyperlinks fit in one line (you can replace the word HYPERLINK with nothing to create more space)
4. save the file as a PDF
5. Copy all/paste into a new word doc.
6. remove all the excess beginning and ends with 'replace' (CTRL + F -> small down arrow next to the X or magnification glass -> replace).
7. Look for spaces inside the hyperlinks (they might slip in) or links that split into two lines

As variant

=LET(
    range,    A1:A2,
    str,      FORMULATEXT( range ),
    start,    FIND( """", str )+1,
    end,      FIND( """", str, start ),
    MID( str, start, end-start )  )

Without using macros, you can follow below steps.

1. Right-click a hyperlink. You'll see a Context menu appear.
2. From the Context menu, choose Edit Hyperlink. Excel displays the Edit Hyperlink dialog box
3. Select and copy the entire URL from the Address field of the dialog box.
4. Press Escape to close the Edit Hyperlink dialog box.
5. Paste the URL into any cell desired.


With Macro

Sub ExtractHL()
Dim HL As Hyperlink
For Each HL In ActiveSheet.Hyperlinks
HL.Range.Offset(0, 1).Value = HL.Address
Next
End Sub


Function GetURL(rng As Range) As String
On Error Resume Next
GetURL = rng.Hyperlinks(1).Address
End Function



=GetURL(A1)

Extract actual addresses from hyperlinks with VBA code

Press on the heading to get more possibilities and options.

Hold down the ALT + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

  Click Insert> Module and paste the following code into the module window.

Sub Extracthyperlinks ()

'Updateby Extendoffice

Dim Rng As Range

Dim WorkRng As Range

On Error Resume Next

xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"

Set WorkRng = Application.Selection

Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox ("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type: = 😎

For Each Rng In WorkRng

     If Rng.Hyperlinks.Count> 0 Then

         Rng.Value = Rng.Hyperlinks.Item (1) .Address

     End If

Next

End Sub

Then press F5 when you press the key to run the code, it will bring up a dialog box for you to choose the hyperlinks that you want to extract the actual addresses from.

Then click OK and the selected cell contents will be converted to the real hyperlink addresses in the original range.

Here's another non-scripting method I've used for years.

1. Copy your column containing the links and paste it into a Word document.

2. Save your Word document as "Web Page (*.htm, *.html)".

3. Right-click on the .htm file and open in Notepad (to view the html source code).

4. Find the rows of code that contain your hyperlinks and copy them, then paste into a Word document. 

5. Use find and replace to delete unwanted code until you are left with only the hyperlinks. 

6. Create a new column next to your original column in your spreadsheet and paste them in. 

7. Check the beginning and end to make certain the URLs are pasted back into the corresponding rows.
