I need a VBA Code that can extract data from column A between brackets () like the below example :
I have these data on column A1 and when run VBA code must give me the below result :
VP,ST,VCAD,X27,(PC3601),PC3601,PC3601_0_1,(TR),(VP),(PS3601)
Result must be in column B1
(PC3601),(TR),(VP),(PS3601)

The following will do it using a macro. It should be possible to use a function also, but I'll leave that to the Excel specialists.
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim vCell As Variant
LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 1 To LastRow 'Change 1 to 2 if there is a header row
vCell = Split(Cells(i, 1), Chr(44))
Cells(i, 2) = vCell(4) & Chr(44) & _
vCell(7) & Chr(44) & _
vCell(8) & Chr(44) & _
vCell(9)
Next i

Dear gmayor , Thanks for your help but when run your vba code this error will be appear
Run-time error '9':
Sunscript out of range
I added the Excel file that need this VBA code for it.
Thank you again

It doesn't work because your column content bears no relationship to the quoted example. There is no consistency in the column data that would lend itself to such a macro.
How for example does
"CANOPY US"
relate to
"L = 600 MM"
or
"(14014602),L = 35 MM,M8x35,(VOE 955298),(955298),L=35,E PROD,AC: 14256846,L = 35mm: TD 61 GB,L = 35mm,L = 35,L50B,(11993555)"
I think the task is impossible.

Hi
You can also try this udf:
Function ExtractData(s As String) As String
ExtractData = Join(Filter(Split(s, ","), "("), ",")
End Function

lecxe's method works fine. Select column B and change the format to General. Add the macro code to a Module. In B1, =ExtractData(A1), and copy or fill down.
