How do I parse text from one cell to another cell?
I would like to move row by row the space following the number through the closing parenthesis for each row to column B. Since each line of data is not the same length, how do you write a macro to accomplish the task? I would like to invoke the Do Until/While function if possible.

You can also utilize the Tsxt to Columns button on the Data ribbon, using "space" as the separator.
Katie, using Space as the separator would split the names across 3 columns in some cases; it would be better to use the ( as a separator. You can then use Find and Replace to get rid of the ) from the end of the result.

No, the best solution was Norie's. Don't know how to fix that.
