How to convert a texted formula to an actual value?

Hi,

 

I'm pulling data from an excel file in SQL server where furmulas are appearing as text and not a claculated numbers.

Can I convert those text formulas into calculated values without writing a complex code?

 

(Strings lenght are not constant and numbers are different per each cell)

 

See below example:
