As far as getting it working in excel, the major obstacle is interfacing with Bitly. Do a quick google search for "bitly api excel" and I think you'll find the information you need. Good luck.

Could you show us how it could work in excel as it only takes a small number of entries. great idea, thanks for sharing. I have changed code a little to stop my staff making mistakes with spaces and blank fields =concatenate(D3,"?&utm_medium=",lower(G3),IF((LEN(F3)>0),CONCATENATE("&utm_source=",(SUBSTITUTE(F3," ","%20"))),""), IF((LEN(E3)>0),CONCATENATE("&utm_campaign=",(SUBSTITUTE(E3," ","%20"))),""), IF((LEN(H3)>0),CONCATENATE("&utm_content=",(SUBSTITUTE(H3," ","%20"))),"") Had trouble getting it started because I didn’t realise it had to be in google docs.

I can submit one whole query to the bitly API and return the shortened link, but i don't know how to do it for a list. Currently trying to work out if I make similar requests using Excel.

The Google Docs ImportData function will import a maximum of 50 rows - so I can't just drag down the 40,000 list. AFAIK there is no bit.ly API limit. So I'm trying to work out if I can get around the Google Doc limitation now. So close! Ah well now that I actually tried it, it would seem the limitation is Google Docs, rather than bitly.

As you mentioned, you're only limited by Bit.ly, and I'm not really sure what their policy is. I'm sure you can find out with a bit of Googling.

I actually have about 40,000 unique URLs to shorten and I'm wondering what the API limit is. Have you tried it this way?
