Hello,

 

I am trying to figure out a way to extract a part of text from the below url 

mysites.com?utm_campaign=mycampaign_20160525_en&utm_medium=email&utm_source=google&utm_content=cart

 

How can i just take "utm_medium=email" from this url using Alteryx formula?

 

please let me know

thanks

I would suggest using a couple of REGEX tool.

 

First tokenise with expression 

[?&]([^=]*=?[^&]+)

Then parse with a similar expression

([^=]+)=?(.*)

This will break it into field and value.

 

If all you want is that explicit key and value then you can use a Formula tool:

REGEX_Replace([URL], ".*[?&](utm_medium=[^&]+).*", "$1")

 

Attached example does both.
