Keep text between // and /

Hi daniegajohnson ,
We can create a custom column to meet your requirement:
let d1 = Text.PositionOf([Referrer],"//"), d2 = Text.PositionOf(Text.End([Referrer],d1),"/") in Text.Range([Referrer],d1+2,if d2=-1 then Text.Length([Referrer])-d1-2 else d2)All the queries are here:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("NY09EoIhDETvQm2g9yrMVwTIQBQI8qMeXwos3+y+XWsV1tCFA2Brd2O8FB1FYiZ9goOvxf45CLtPTr7qulmV5mxjO49Vya34oRC4xqH3hjkALks0s0tjjxl8Yg8Re6AK/wZOmIngve+oO84Tyhq0ilHX9QM=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Referrer = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Referrer", type text}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each let d1 = Text.PositionOf([Referrer],"//"), d2 = Text.PositionOf(Text.End([Referrer],d1),"/") in Text.Range([Referrer],d1+2,if d2=-1 then Text.Length([Referrer])-d1-2 else d2)) in #"Added Custom"

Hello daniegajohnson
then we can add 2 if-statements to check wheter the string is found or not
let Quelle = "android-app://com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", Pos1 = Text.PositionOf(Quelle, "//"), DeleteFirstPart = if Pos1 = -1 then Quelle else Text.End(Quelle,Text.Length(Quelle)-Pos1-2), Pos2 = Text.PositionOf(DeleteFirstPart,"/"), DeleteLastPart = if Pos2 = -1 then DeleteFirstPart else Text.Start(DeleteFirstPart,Pos2) in DeleteLastPartCopy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works. If this solution fits your need, copy and past a part of it and implement it in your query

Jimmy801thanks! That worked for the scenario I described. As I looked through the data I was getting errors because not all the entries in that referral column are alike. For example, "Referrer:" (when the visitor comes from an internal page and there's no data after the word refferrer) or "Referrer: android-app://com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox" (no single /).
Hello daniegajohnson

Pos1 = Text.PositionOf(Quelle, "//"),
DeleteFirstPart = if Pos1 = -1 then Quelle else Text.End(Quelle,Text.Length(Quelle)-Pos1-2),
Pos2 = Text.PositionOf(DeleteFirstPart,"/"),
DeleteLastPart = if Pos2 = -1 then DeleteFirstPart else Text.Start(DeleteFirstPart,Pos2)
in
DeleteLastPart
