Parse cell value based on contents
In follow up to my previous question,
if A1=Joe(abc) a2=Sam(bdc) a3=Sarah to get the contents of the paranthesis in b1,b2 however b3 be blank, how would would the formula go so I can avoid #VALUE! in b3. ie: b1=abc b2=bdc b3= =MID(G2,FIND("(",G2)+1,(FIND(")",G2)-FIND("(",G2)-1)) will give me the parenthisi value in it's own cell. But if there is no parenthisis, I get #VALUE! which makes the spreadsheet look sloppy. |

Try this:
=IF(ISERR(FIND("(",A1)),A1,SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND( "(",A1)+1,100),")","")) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Craig860" wrote in message ...

Ooops!
=IF(ISERR(FIND("(",A1)),A1,SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND ("(",A1)+1,100),")","")) You wanted the cell left blank... =IF(ISERR(FIND("(",A1)),"",SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND( "(",A1)+1,100),")","")) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T.

Look at this example:
=if(iserror(YourFormula),"",YourFormula)) Regards, Per On 24 Sep., 04:42, Craig860 wrote: In follow up to my previous question, if A1=Joe(abc) a2=Sam(bdc) a3=Sarah to get the contents of the paranthesis in b1,b2 however b3 be blank, how would would the formula go so I can avoid #VALUE! in b3. ie: b1=abc b2=bdc b3= =MID(G2,FIND("(",G2)+1,(FIND(")",G2)-FIND("(",G2)-1)) will give me the parenthisi value in it's own cell.

Another suggestion - which I got from one of your previous posts:
=SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND("(",A1&"(")+1,255),"(","") "T. Valko" wrote: Ooops! =IF(ISERR(FIND("(",A1)),A1,SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND ("(",A1)+1,100),")","")) You wanted the cell left blank... =IF(ISERR(FIND("(",A1)),"",SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND( "(",A1)+1,100),")","")) -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "T.

Give yourself a pat on the back - you earned it! I must have copied the
formula to the clipboard before I fixed that parentheses thingy: =SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND("(",A1&"(")+1,255),")","") "T.

Thank you gentlemen! I don't think I would have ever come up with that.
