How to remove characters and then split string at a specifc character

[Waimea]

I have a lot of strings that follow the same format.

[COLOR=#3D3D3D][FONT=arial]T4290 Benareby (Härryda kommun)[/FONT][/COLOR]

Steps:

1.) Remove the first 5 charcters, T4290.

=RIGHT(A2;LEN(A2)-6)

2.) Remove leading spaces from Benareby. Maybe with TRIM.

TRIM(B2)

3.) Remove ( kommun) and keep Härryda

I am stuck at step 3 right now?I have tried using REPLACE.

Desired output is

Column A   Column B
Benareby   Härryda

Hi Rick,

thank you for your reply. I like the single formula solution!

For your B1 formula, why not this instead...

=MID(LEFT(A1,FIND("(",A1)-1),7,99)

=MID(LEFT(A1,FIND("(",A1)-1),7,99)

Only that the OP said they wanted to remove the first 5 characters, so I took that literally. (Though not some other parts see below. )

BTW, your suggestion would need to be -2 or perhaps safer include TRIM() or else a space is likely left on the end.

I like the single formula solution!

Just be aware that different formulas suggested in the thread may bring different results.
Having re-read your question and considered your possible data, I'm not sure any of the suggestions, including mine, would be sure to bring you your desired results. I'm proposing this instead. I am assuming that spaces after the Småortskod (hope that is correct ), before the "(" and "kommun" are uniform.
