    Try

    in C5

    =INDEX(MID($A$5:$A$100,FIND("(",$A$5:$A$100),255),AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$1:$A$1000)/($A$5:$A$100<>"")/(ISTEXT($A$5:$A$100)),ROWS($1:1)))

    enter with Ctrl+Shift+Enter

    in D5

    =INDEX($A$5:$A$100,AGGREGATE(15,6,ROW($A$1:$A$1000)/(ISNUMBER($A$5:$A$100)),ROWS($1:1)))

    Just Enter
