Hello everybody.

I'm looping in a range:
Code:
For Each cell In Sheets(2).Range("F2:F" & lr3)
   '....
Next cell

For each cell in this range, I need, if existent brackets with exactly 2 characters as a content, delete the brackets and its content.

For example:

Code:
LONDON (LD)
has to be turned into
Code:
LONDON
Code:
BERLIN (BL) GERMANY
has to be turned into
Code:
BERLIN GERMANY

But
Code:
ROME (ITALY)
has to stay unchanged because of 5 charachters and not 2 into the brackets.


Can you support me?

Thank's.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
No need for a loop, you can do it like
Code:
  Sheets(2).Range("F2:F" & LR3).Replace "(??)", "", xlPart, , , , False, False

If you always have a space before & after the brackets, use this instead.
Code:
  Sheets(2).Range("F2:F" & LR3).Replace " (??)", "", xlPart, , , , False, False

For the cells in question, are the only values the city and the bracketed information? Or, is there other information in the cells also. Can you provide a sample of 5-10 cell values showing all possible type of combinations so that we can provide a viable solution.
