Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
How about
Excel Formula:
=SUBSTITUTE(TEXTAFTER(A1,"(",-1),")","")

Hello, see if this helps you. I've removed the "=" sign in the second row so you can see the formula.
This presumes that there are only 3 characters between the parens. If it's not always 3 characters, that will be a more complicated formula.

I think that you could do them both in the same formula:

=CHOOSECOLS(TEXTSPLIT(A1,{"(",")"}),2,4)
