Re: Split spsific text

your text string has only one space before (xxx)?
use Text to Columns by space
or post more representative example (more than one)

Hey, if the text is in A1 try this:

="("&TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"(",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1)))

Example:
A1 = "test this string out! (abcdef)"
Result of formula: "(abcdef)"

Hey did you change the A1 reference throughout the entire formula to K1? Like below:

="("&TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(K1,"(",REPT(" ",LEN(K1))),LEN(K1)))

You received two replies.
Which one isn't working for you?
Did you try the other one?

If the first reply did not work for you, then you probably did not give us an accurate description of how the data in that field is presented.
Try to include all the possible variations, and maybe some actual examples we can work from.

No, i have many spaces... see one of the examples "BOXsde, MAIN POWER-24PINS EXTENSION PN:KAA4a9143-35-00 (Crnishev, Yeny)"

See response 5 above, which seems to do what you are asking for.
