How to retrieve numbers between parentheses
For cells values such as "XXXXXX (XXX)", use the formula:
=STXT($L2;TROUVE("(";$L2)+1;TROUVE(")";$L2)-TROUVE("(";$L2)-1)
Look for data according to an ID
Use the following formula
=RECHERCHEV(A2;datarange;n;0)
with the values
• A2 : the celle with the ID
• datarange : the range of data where we are looking for the id and the data. The ID must be in the first column.
• n : the column where the value is located if the ID is found
• 0 : for perfect match
Select all data in sheet
Type the following command on a cell
CTRL + A
or from the up left cell
