I have and column that reads this "8.50 (13.0)".
I would like to strip out the data into 2 columns and remove the parenthesis from the second one.
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
A couple of steps in Power Query.
Code:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(Source, "Column1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("(", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Column1.1", "Column1.2"}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Split Column by Delimiter", "Column1.2", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(")", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Column1.2.1", "Column1.2.2"}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Split Column by Delimiter1",{"Column1.2.2"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

another way with PowerQuery (Get&Transform)

Code:
[SIZE=1]let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    Split = Table.SplitColumn(Source, "Column1", Splitter.SplitTextByAnyDelimiter({" ("}, QuoteStyle.Csv)),
    Replace = Table.ReplaceValue(Split,")","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Column1.2"}),
    Type = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Replace,{{"Column1.1", type number}, {"Column1.2", type number}})
in
    Type[/SIZE]

Column1Column1.1Column1.2
8.50 (13.0)
8.5​

10.44 (11.11)

Very cool, but this one is over my head.
Reminds me just how little I know about Excel.
But thanks and I will follow up on this with some study.
