Hi Friends,

I looked some posts over here on how to extract words before closed backets and based on number of characters/letters within closed brackets.
I am looking to do this with formula/vba/udf.
Here is an example

Designed and developed the application using Java Server Faces (JSF) framework and spring web flow(JSF)Java Server Faces
Experience in all phases of software development life cycle (SDLC), which includes User Interaction, Business Analysis/Modeling, Design/Architecture, Development, Implementation, Integration, Documentation, Testing, and Deployment(SDLC)software development life cycle

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
How about this?

        CUR = CUR + 1

End With

RX = RES

        Next i
        CUR = CUR + 1
    Next m
End With

RX = RES
End Function

Above VBA Function extracts only words within brackets.
I need full form as well like "Java Server Faces" for JSF in ColumnC
So, in ColumnB (JSF) and in ColumnC "Java Server Faces"

In that case, try this.

VBA Code:
Sub RXX()
Dim r As Range:             Set r = Range("A1:A" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
Dim AR() As Variant:        AR = r.Value2
Dim AL As Object:           Set AL = CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
Dim MX As String
Dim SX As String
Dim SP() As String
Dim POS As Integer

With CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
    .Global = True
    .Pattern = "(\(\w+\)),?"
    For i = 1 To UBound(AR)
        SP = Split(AR(i, 1), " ")
        Set matches = .Execute(AR(i, 1))
        For Each m In matches
            MX = MX & m.submatches(0) & " "
            POS = Application.Match(m.Value, SP, 0)
            For j = POS - Len(m.submatches(0)) + 1 To POS - 2
                SX = SX & SP(j)
                If j < POS - 2 Then SX = SX & " "
            Next j
            SX = SX & ";"
        Next m
        AL.Add Trim(MX) & ";" & SX
        MX = vbNullString
        SX = vbNullString
    Next i
End With

With r.Offset(, 1)
    .Value = Application.Transpose(AL.toArray)
    .TextToColumns DataType:=xlDelimited, Semicolon:=True
End With
End Sub

getting run time error when I have more than 500 rows

I don't think that would have to do with the number of rows. That would mean that it didn't find a match in the string for a text string like (JSF)

Are you sure that line has something like that to match on?

Also getting subscript out of range = run time error 9
