Need help creating a formula that will remove a certain string of text.
My use case is:
I need to remove everything within the parentheses and including the parentheses. Is this possible? I just need the name. I feel like the Replace, substitute or mid formula would put me in the right area but not able to figure it out.
Ex: John Doe (123456789)
