Default Excel - Replace differant trailing words or symbyls with key word

If the first number after desired text always begins with a digit, you
can use this array formula:

=LEFT(F9,MATCH(TRUE,ISNUMBER(--MID(F9,ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN(F9))),1)),
0)-1)

Assumes your text is in F9. After pasting this formula in the formula
bar, press Ctrl+Shift+Enter to confirm (instead of regular Enter).
