Insert text after one digit number and double digit number

I have this link  https://vodafone.sharepoint.com/Sites/scp/PM/Lists/Proactive%20Placeholder/Attachments/8/CIITVOPMON1...  

 

using this query 

Text.Insert(Text.Insert(Text.Insert("https://vodafone.sharepoint.com/Sites/scp/PM/Lists/Proactive%20Placeholder/Attachments/ ",87,[ID.1]),88,"/"),89,[AttachmentFiles.FileName])

    it works fine but when the link ID is changing to double digits the link stop working because of the characted position.

Is there a way to indicate something like if atachment id is one digit insert text here and is is double digit insert text here?

 

Thank you

Hi, @Emanuel ;

Perhaps you can try using if to determine the character length of [ID.1]'s. If it is 1, using your above formula, if it is 2, you can change 88 to 89, and 89 to 90.Such as:

if Text.Length([ID.1])=1 then 
Text.Insert(Text.Insert(Text.Insert("https://vodafone.sharepoint.com/Sites/scp/PM/Lists/Proactive%20Placeholder/Attachments/ ",87,[ID.1]),88,"/"),89,[AttachmentFiles.FileName])
else 
Text.Insert(Text.Insert(Text.Insert("https://vodafone.sharepoint.com/Sites/scp/PM/Lists/Proactive%20Placeholder/Attachments/ ",87,[ID.1]),89,"/"),90,[AttachmentFiles.FileName])
