Hi

Im trying to input some code that looks at row A1:Z1 and search to find a character string that looks like this or has this in there
(1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree)
If that is found - i need to look at the cell directly below it and see if there is any value in it (not blank)
If it empty then i need to extract all the characters before the "(" trimming any end spaces and paste it on to the cell below
If there is a value under the cell below then ignore it and find the next match

There could be many cells that have that match

How can i achieve this please

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
I think ive managed to sort it using the Instr Function

thank you
