I have a column with various string text. My target is to extract a very specific portion of the text from the string. Please see screenshot below.
| Existing Column | Desired Column |
| FS-180604031(M10372No Charge), FS-170718047(M10372Charge), FS-170718047(M10372Preventative Maint), FS-170426043(M10372Sales Support), | No Charge, Charge, Preventative Maint, Sales Support |
| *FS-170815075(M124Prev Maint - New Machine Sale), FS-170613036(M124Installation (New)), | Prev Maint - New Machine Sale, Installation (New) |
I have tried to extract by delimiter but for some reason, the output would only provide 1 of the target items and drop off all the others. I have also tried to extract by the number of characters but there are different numbers of characters.
Any guidance as to how you would approach this will be greatly appreicated!

Hi @Anonymous
You may use Split column function. Below is the document about Text Extraction for your reference. Attached the sample file.
