Formula question

Hi,

 

I have a question regarding on formula.

 

I understand that I need to use IF THEN ELSE statement for this. But I am currently stuck

 

So my problem is that I have this set of data in my dataset

 

IDName
1234Abc Corp (1234)
1235Efg Corp (1235)

 

How do I remove the number in the name so that it appears to be like the following output?

 

IDName
1234Abc Corp
1235Efg Corp

@terrellchong RegEx would work

If you want to avoid RegEx, you could also do this:

left([Name],FindString([Name]," ("))

This takes the left part of the name up to the brackets
