3. Get thisMeetingDate

Now, create another formula called thisMeetingDate . It looks like this:

thisPage.ToText().Split("/").Last().Split("_").First().ToDate()

This formula extracts the date part of the url.
If the url is: https://coda.io/d/_dV-vk_8iWzc/Meeting-Template_su55M

1. Convert it to text
2. Split it along forward slashes “/”

4. Grab the first part
5. Convert it to a date

You can use:

ButtonOnPage.Url().ToText().Split("/").Last().Split("_").First()
