Hi, I have the following string in Cell A1: 1. First Name (5).

I figured out how to extract the first and last name. I am struggling on how to get the value between the parentheses. The values will range from single-digit to triple-digit.

Forluma to get the name value: =MID(A2,FIND(" ",A2),FIND("(",A2)-1-FIND(" ",A2))
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
One way:
Code:
=TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"(",REPT(" ",100)),")",REPT(" ",100)),100,100))
