Default autoformatting [##,###] (##,###)

does anyone have an idea how i can automatically change a row of numbers so
that they are put within brackets?

example
row 1: 12,5 10,4 11,3 18,56

i want:
(12,5) (10,4) (11,3) (18,56)

is there an autoformat somewhere in excel?
i am now doing it by hand. but i have another 200 to go and there has to be
an easier way!!

Thnx
