    How to add a Parenthesis around a name in cell

    Hi-

    Right now, I am using an index match to find a name. It returns it correctly, but is there something I can add to formula to to return the name, and put the name in parenthesis. Example: currently it returns name Chile, but I want (Chile).

    Hi,

    Please change the formula as following-

    ="("&INDEX($A$53:$A$79,MATCH(P41,$B$53:$B$79,0))&")"
