I have a table that looks like this:[TABLE="width: 287"]
<colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]AL INC.(CCML)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]EX, LLC (FF)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]TG & A/C (B-FF)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]JING & A/C (B-FF)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]OKA (B-FF)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]EATING & A/C,INC(B-GA)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]MECHANICAL AIR SYSTEMS INC[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

I need to be able to identify the B or the C in the parenthesis of each and name it Boy and Coy in a new column next to the original. I know how to identify (C and tag it, but not sure how to do two items and nest it. Thanks in advance!!

Copy down. Replace what should happen if it is not B or C and What should happen if there is no () with what you want

here is another approach...
=IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("(c",A1)),"Coy",IF(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("(b",A1)),"Boy",""))
copied down
