I have a spread sheet that has (example) numbers in a cell  45% (5/11) in a
cell or 60% (60/100) in a cell.  I have hundreds of cells each with different
series of numbers all with a 1-2 or 3 diget % and two numbers in ().  I want
to delete the number in parenthesis and the parenthesis.  I can do it cell by
cell but I figure that there should be some way to reformat the cells to do
it in mass
