You could use a macro.
Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim myCell As Range
Dim myRng As Range
Set myRng = Nothing
On Error Resume Next
Set myRng = Intersect(Selection, _
Selection.Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas))
On Error GoTo 0
If myRng Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Please select some cells with formulas!"
Exit Sub
End If
For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
With myCell
.Formula = "=(" & Mid(.Formula, 2) & ")"
End With
Next myCell
End Sub

I know that you can toggle the cell references of a formula by highlighting
the set and hitting the F4 button.
A2:B38
$A$2:$B$38
A$2:B$38
But is there a way to highlight a set and place parenthesis around it?
For example,
Go from -- =$A$7/$B$29 to -- =($A$7/$B$29)
Thanks!
