You don't need VBA to accomplish your task.

Save the workbook, then do the following:
1) With the replace function, replace "=" with "'="

Now you have only text.

2) Replace ")*2" with ""

3) Replace "(" with ""

4) Replace "'=" with "="
*******************************************
Or simplified, just replace "*2" with "". That will also do the trick

The brackets  can be left  where they are. A find/replace for *2 will find
and remove  the multiplications.

Or is there something more complex in what you need to do?
