Hi @Miles Allison<\/a>,<\/p>If this text string is in a single cell, you can do this using:<\/p>
=MID([Column Name]@row, FIND(\"(\", [Column Name]@row) - 12, 11)<\/p>
Obviously you need to change out \"Column Name\" for the header of the column the text is in, but this should work providing there is only a single instance of an open bracket in your text string.<\/p>
Hope this helps!<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question","log":{"dateUpdated":"2023-01-20 18:23:45","updateUser":{"userID":91566,"name":"Genevieve P.","title":"","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/profile\/Genevieve%20P.","photoUrl":"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6031209\/uploads\/userpics\/KHY4Y67W0VRX\/nF76D5N9MFB28.png","dateLastActive":"2023-01-21T02:23:14+00:00","banned":0,"punished":0,"private":false,"label":"Employee Admin"}}},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[]}],"title":"Trending in Formulas and Functions ","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
