Hi,
I need to separate the numbers which appear at the end of a text and they are in brackets. I usually use the function below to do that. Latley somebody started to add numbers into two brackets and then it doesn't work anymore.

=MID(A1,FIND("(",A1,1)+1,LEN(A1)-FIND("(",A1,1)-1)

These are the different type of text which can be in cells.

Abc test1(12) (1234)
bbc test2 (1) (12345)
ddd test2 (123456)
etc.

Result:
1234
12345
123456

Your help is very much appreciated

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
try the Morefunc

=-(WMID(A9,-1,2,CHAR(41)))

It should leave the last number

with no spaces
"test2(2)(12345)" left 12345

If there are spaces, try
=-(WMID(A2,-1,1,""))
