Copy Text String from between ()
With your string in A1, use this formula:
=IF(ISERROR(MID(A1,SEARCH("(",A1)+1,SEARCH(")",A1)-
SEARCH("(",A1)-1)),"",MID(A1,SEARCH("(",A1)+1,SEARCH(")",A1)-
SEARCH("(",A1)-1))
All one formula - be wary of spurious line-breaks on the newsgroups.
If you do not have either an opening or closing bracket, or if your
closing bracket occurs before the opening bracket, then you will get a
blank cell.
Hope this helps.

A simple one hopefully, I am trying to FIND a text string which always
occurs between brackets and copy it into another column.
Example, I want to copy the word "Apples" from cell A1 to cell B1
where A1 has the following Text :
Peaches Cream (Apples) Bannana Cherries.
Many thanks for any help
