I have 3 variables: mean, lowerCLmean and upperCLmean. I want to combine them and add in parentheses around the lowerCLmean and upperCLmean as well as a dash between the lowerCLmean and upperCLmean. Below is an example of what my data is currently like and the data under new variable is how I would like it to look at the end. Thank you for any help you can give.

Mean          lowerCLmean          upperCLmean

45               30                         50

20               15                         30

new variable

45 (30-50)

20 (15-30)
