I have a spreadsheet with 10,000 rows with this information;
Rows look like this,

R1 Ontime:   100.00%
R2 711 *OEM1676EN
R3 Tot
R4 Ontime:   92.00%
R5 129 D317002

I need to find all rows that contain "Ontime:" and remove the word "Ontime:"
to leave the percentage in that cell only. This is all in one column. Or, can
I just copy the percentage part to another cell?
Please help
