Formula to get data with specific logic from a string

[PANIGGR]

I have below data in column A, in this string suffixed with data like "(12345/A76D7YF)". I need numeric and alphanumeric character in two different columns. Please note that customer names before above section may also contain (, ) and /. Uniqueness of column A is that after the last open bracket "(", the required numeric and alphanumeric data comes which may help is building any logic/VBA code

.. building any logic/VBA code

Since you mentioned vba code, here is an option for that. This one should produce the alpha-numeric in column B and the numeric in column C as per your first post.

Sub ExtractData()
  With Range("B2:B" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
    .Value = .Offset(, -1).Value
    .Replace What:="*(", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart
    .TextToColumns Destination:=.Offset(, 1).Cells(1), DataType:=xlDelimited, OtherChar:="/", FieldInfo:=Array(Array(1, 1), Array(2, 9))
    .Replace What:="*/", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart
    .Replace What:=")", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart
  End With
End Sub

If you are happy with the results the other way around as per sandy666's sample in post 2 then it can be a tiny bit shorter:

Sub ExtractData_v2()
  With Range("B2:B" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
    .Value = .Offset(, -1).Value
    .Replace What:="*(", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart
    .Replace What:=")", Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart
    .TextToColumns DataType:=xlDelimited, OtherChar:="/"
  End With
End Sub

This worked, thank you logical formula sometime takes time if the data is huge. This is is quite easy as compared to power query and logical formula

You're welcome.

Of course the 'easiness' of a particular solution also depends on your own individual skills & experience. Anyway, you had a good variety of options to choose from.
