How to extract URL from Link in Google Sheets using a formula?

Question

I have copied from a website a series of hyperlinks and pasted them in a google sheet. The values show up as linked text, not hyperlink formulas, and are still linked correc

Answer 1

If you happy to use Google Apps Script then use below function to get the hyperlink from a text. When you pass the cell, you should send with double quote. Eg: =GETURL("A4") to get the A4 hyperlink.

function GETURL(input) {
  var range = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange(input);
  var url = /"(.*?)"/.exec(range.getFormulaR1C1())[1];
  return url;
}

Refer here for example.

Edit: Ignore this answer. This will only work if url is linked in cell.
