How to remove text from a column

Hello,

I would like to ask for your help.

The aim is to remove the word </div> from the URL address. 

</div>https://sites.share2.com/sites/Documents/Steuergeraetl.pdf</div>

 

I can't get over it

Hi,

 

you could do this simply in Power Query by right clicking the column, select replace values, then just enter </div> in the value to replace and leave the replace with field blank.
