My problem is this: I have a spreadsheet I need to sort, but the
information to sort by is contained at the end of a text string in a
cell between parentheses.
example: Utility Busway E57 - E81 Busplug (P001)
P001 is the information I need to extract from that string. Not all
cells in a particular column that are to be looked at contain the
(****) and the lack of (***) will have me look at another column which
will contain the information. The number of characters before the open
parentheses is not constant nor is the the number of characters between
the open and close parentheses.
Is there a way to just step through the characters of a string?? My
previous attempts to do this haven't worked and I have managed to find
work arounds using other functions. The open parentheses is the flag
to indicate that the following characters are to be extracted until a
closed parentheses is reached.
Thank you,
