Extract a GUID from a URL

How can i extract the GUID from this URL into a new column:

Hi @dax_powerbi ,

If you are trying to extact the dashboardID, try this as a custom column in Power Query:

Text.BetweenDelimiters([Column1], "%", "%", 2, 0)

If you're trying to extract the webpage itself, it is not accessible from our end.
