    hi Jagan, welcome to the forum. maybe:
    =REPLACE(A1,FIND("(",A1),FIND(")",A1),"")

    or if some data dont have brackets, then:
    =IF(ISNUMBER(FIND("(",A1)),REPLACE(A1,FIND("(",A1),FIND(")",A1),""),A1)

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    Hi benishiry,

    Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.

    But the function you've provided is not working Exactly what i want.

    Eg:- Aviemore Drive (Highland Park) Countdown Supermarket(SR13.00 Pilot)

    It's giving the output as :- Aviemore Drive rmarket(SR13.00 Pilot)

    I wanted the output is as:- Aviemore Drive Countdown Supermarket

    Re: How to Remove the data in Braces in an Excel Sheet

    Hi Sixthsense ,

    Thank you very much It's working fine, but if the data contains two braces then only it's functioning properly else it's not..

    Eg: Watergardens (Taylors Lakes) Safeway Supermarket,

    for this data, it's not giving the proper results..

    For Sample Take the below Data:

    Mountain View (Mt Gravatt) Woolworths Supermarket
    Murray Street (Perth City) Woolworths Supermarket
    Allenstown Hotel Dan Murphys (Rockhampton) (ALH)
    Campbelltown (Marketfair) Woolworths Supermarket
    Launceston Danks - Beck's HoME Timber & Hardware
    Little Mountain BWS (Pelican Waters Hotel)ALH)
