I have a column with some stuff that looks like the following string: V2397(+60)

How do I get the value between the brackets? In this case the +60.

The number (and character) before the brackets is not something standardized and neither the number between the brackets (it can be 100, 10 -10 or even 0…).

    VBA code:

    cellValue = "V2397(+60)"
openingParen = instr(cellValue, "(")
closingParen = instr(cellValue, ")")
enclosedValue = mid(cellValue, openingParen+1, closingParen-openingParen-1)

    Obviously cellValue should be read from the cell.

    Alternatively, if cell A1 has one of these values, then the following formula can be used to extrcat the enclosed value to a different cell:

    =Mid(A1, Find("(", A1)+1, Find(")",A1)-Find("(",A1)-1)
