Two solutions.
1. through a function
If the data is in Column A, Use this function in column B
=MID(A1,FIND("(",A1)+1,7)
2. Using Commands (Data -> Text to Columns
a. Select the data
b. Go to Data -> Text to Columns
c. Select Delimited Option and click on Next
d. Select Others & Type ( in next column and click on
next
e. Click on finish button
Now the data will be split into two columns
select the data in second column
Repeat the above process
in step d. Type ) instead of (.
