Syntax

=U.URL_ENCODE(input, [decode])

Parameters

Parameter Required Description
input Yes The cell or range of cells containing strings to be URL encoded
[decode] No If set to TRUE then the input is decoded instead of encoded

Behavior

The documented public interface is supported by the current U Add-in source signature and the maintained Usage Examples workbook. Optional parameters are shown in square brackets in the syntax above; omit the brackets when entering a formula.

Return Value

Returns the function result or action status described by the formula and parameters above. The maintained sources do not define a narrower, stable return contract for this function.

Examples

=U.URL_ENCODE(B5)

=U.URL_ENCODE(URL_ENCODE,TRUE)

Notes

  • Formula examples are preserved from maintained workbook usage and normalized to the current U. prefix.
  • Complete formulas demonstrate working patterns; they do not imply that undocumented option values are supported.
  • Where maintained sources do not specify every accepted value, default, or error message, this page does not infer one.
  • For functions that perform actions, use a visible trigger or supported block/throttle parameter to avoid unintended repetition during recalculation.
