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
 
=LEFT(A1,FIND("%",A1))

Kind regards,
