Sorry @sriniprad08 just seen your post about removing the brackets,

 

A couple of ways to do this, if it's just brackets then this formula will do the trick

ReplaceChar([Output],'()','')

Alternatively you can use a RegExReplace() to remove anything which isn't a letter, number, underscore or hyphen with this:

RegexReplace([output],'[^\w-]','')

Hi @sriniprad08 

 

To add to above another option to remove brackets is using Trim function like below.

 

Trim([Sit_1],"()")

 

Hope this helps : )
