    Delete Part of value in cell

    Hello,

    How do i delete parts of information in a cell. I have over a thousand list of parts and I wanted to delete parts of the information in the cell without having to do it manually.

    I was going to insert another column next to the Part numbers and wanted to have a formula where I can just drag down the cells.

    Below are examples of some part numbers.

    AS568-2-468 (S/T AS568-268V747-75)
    AGS-3234TC-41-10145 (S/T AGS-3234TC-41-10-1/4S)
    A06050062-001 (S/T 1222179-001)
    Transportation (over & above) (GFY 13)
    Transportation (Route Survey)
    Transportation (GTM-1) (GFY 11)

    I want to delete everything in the "( )" and keep everything below. Doing this manually will take a long time .



    Thank you

    Assuming that you will always discard everything after the first occurence of ( you can use this formula:

    Note this also assumes your data starts at cell A1. If this assumption is not safe, let me know and I'll rework it.
    If your question has been satisfactorily addressed, please consider marking it solved. Click the Thread Tools dropdown and select Mark thread as solved.
