    split string into multiple cells

    Hello,
    Can someone help me with the proper filter to split a string into multiple cellse?

    Here's a example of what I'm looking for;

    A1: name (AAA) xxxxxx xx xx xx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx (xxx xxx. bbbbbbbb 111 xbxbxb)

    split to the following cells

    B1: name (AAA)
    C1: bbbbbbbb 111
    D1: xbxbxb

    the length of the words always change, so text-to-columns will not work as I have over 1500 cells to split up.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    I'm not sure if I understand well. Are we thinking the same?

    With
    A1: name (AAA) xxxxxx xx xx xx-xxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx (xxx xxx. bbbbbbbb 111 xbxbxb)

    These regular formula parse that text:

    In the above example, these are the returned values:
    name (AAA)
    bbbbbbbb 111
    xbxbxb

    Is that something you can work with?
