ENCODEURL is a function that takes a URL as an input and returns the encoded value of the input URL. The encoded value is a text string that is shorter in length than the input URL and is composed of alphanumeric characters. The function can be used in Excel to protect URLs from being copied and pasted into other applications. The function can be used in a VBA macro or in a worksheet formula.
The syntax of ENCODEURL in Excel is as follows:
=ENCODEURL("https://www.example.com/")
This will return the encoded URL for the website www.example.com.
ENCODEURL is a function in Excel that can be used to encode a text string into a URL-safe string. The function takes two arguments: the text string to encode and the encoding type. The encoding type can be either "url" or "base64". The "url" encoding type is the default encoding type and is used to encode text strings that will be used as part of a URL. The "base64" encoding type is used to encode text strings that will be used as part of a Base64-encoded string.
An example of how to use the ENCODEURL function in Excel is to encode a text string into a URL-safe string. To do this, the text string to encode is entered into cell A1 and the encoding type is entered into cell A2. In this example, the encoding type is "url". The function is entered into cell B1 and the formula is =ENCODEURL(A1,A2). The result of the function is displayed in cell B1.
An example of how to use the ENCODEURL function in Excel is to encode a text string into a Base64-encoded string. To do this, the text string to encode is entered into cell A1 and the encoding type is entered into cell A2. In this example, the encoding type is "base64". The function is entered into cell B1 and the formula is =ENCODEURL(A1,A2). The result of the function is displayed in cell B1.
ENCODEURL should not be used in Excel when you want to encode a text string that will be used as an argument in a function. The function will not work if you use ENCODEURL to encode the text string.
There are a few similar formulae to ENCODEURL in Excel. One is CONCATENATE, which can be used to combine text from multiple cells into one cell. Another is URLENCODE, which can be used to encode text for use in a web address. Finally, there is FIND, which can be used to find a specific text string within a cell.
