How to change text from 1 column to 5 columns

[chester12]

Hi All

I have text in 1 column containing spaces and brackets which I want to
convert to 5 columns as shown. There are about 6 of such columns to convert
and many rows.

The attached sheet shows columns headed r1 to r5 done manually.

Thanks you

Chester12

Administrative Note:

Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the version (NOT release number) of Office (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this. Thanks.

If you happen to have a much more recent version, you may be able to use this in B2 copied across and down:

=IFERROR(LET(t,TRIM(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE($A2,"("," "),")"," "),"%","")),VALUE(TRIM(MID(SUBSTITUTE(t," ",REPT(" ",LEN(t))),(COLUMNS($A:A)-1)*LEN(t)+1,LEN(t))))),"")

Still using excel 2010 so the Fluff 13 works.
