for example I have this value in one cell = First name, last name (XXXXX)
I want to move (XXXXX) in another column and remove it from the cell that contains firs name, last name


Thank you

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
There are several ways to do this.

If they are all in exactly that format, the simplest is probably using the Data, Text to Columns function, and specifying "(" as the delimiter character.

This will probably give you a space character at the end of the "First name, last name " string - if that's a problem, post back, there are ways round it.
