If you'd like to extract the file name from a file in the attachment field, you can do so with a formula like the example below:
LEFT({Attachment Field},FIND("(",{Attachment Field})-1)
Note that this formula only accounts for attachment fields with a single file attached. For more details on using formulas in Airtable, please see our formula field reference.
