Seperating and extracting text from parentheses
I receive hundreds of rows of text data for part numbers and part
descriptions. The data is in a row format, beginning in A1, A2, A3, etc. The data in each row is one text string; e.g. Cell A1 - 123456-789 (PNL, 15.4 WXGA BV, RoHS, LPL) Cell A2 - 57CX4962012 (LCD INVERTER) I would like to separate the data in each of the text strings into the format below. I've had a real challenge with extracting the part description from the parentheses. Cell A1 Cell B1 Cell C1 123456-789 (PNL, RoHS, LPL) 123456-789 PNL, RoHS, LPL Cell A2 Cell B2 Cell C2 57CX4962012 (LCD INVERTER) 57CX4962012 LCD INVERTER Thank you for your time and assistance. |

Seperating and extracting text from parentheses
Hi,
In B1 to extract the first bit =TRIM(LEFT(A1,FIND("(",A1)-1)) and the second bit =MID(A1,FIND("(",A1)+1,LEN(A1)-(LEN(LEFT(A1,FIND("(",A1)))+1)) Mike "Morton Detwyler" wrote: I receive hundreds of rows of text data for part numbers and part descriptions.
