If you have more set of numbers within brackets separated by space. the use
DataText to columnsSpace delimiter.. which will put that into separate
columns..Once done replace the brackets..

Do you want to keep the ( ) ?

Are the numbers *always* 3 digits?

Will the numbers ever have leading 0s like 012 ?

With the number in A1 (123) (456); try

in B1
=SUBSTITUTE(LEFT(A1,FIND(")",A1)-1),"(",)+0
in C1
=SUBSTITUTE(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+2,10),")",)+0

Excel annoyingly remembers the last setting for Text to Columns.

Pick some dummy data and run T to C with no delimiters to reset to neutral.

Then paste your new paragraphs.
