Just a minor modification of Dave's formula:

=MID(A1,1,FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1,"
",CHAR(1),LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))))-1)

When I use this formula it returns Cast. I might mention also that there
would usually be a number in front of the street address (e.g. 125 Castleton
Parkway Blvd--in such a case I would want the result of the formula to be
125 Castleton Parkway).

One way:

=MID(A1,1,LEN(A1)-FIND(CHAR(1),SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",CHAR(1),LEN(A1)
-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))

I am looking for a formula that will return all words except for the last
word.
Eample:. in cell A1 I have: Castleton Parkway Blvd--I want to return
in
cell A2: Castleton Parkway
