Default Counting Characters In A String

Hi

I am trying to manipulate some data strings and I want to count how many
times the characters '(' and ')' occur in each of the data strings on my
spreadsheet. I have tried some simple options but am unable to achieve the
result I want.

I would be very grateful if anyone is able to provide me with a method of
doing this.

Thanks
