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.

  • Hello BRL7WZ ,

     

    In Power query under the transform tab, you click on extract then Text between two delimiters then you specifiy the delimiters, in your case they're </div>
