If you always want to keep the characters after the last (no matter how many)
hyphen...

And you don't have to use a formula, you could use:

Select the range to fix
edit|replace
what: *- (asterisk, hyphen)
with: (leave blank)
replace all

I have a column of cells that have excess data that needs removed. The #of
characters vary. I'm needing a formula to delete all the characters that
precede the 2nd hyphen as well as delete the 2nd hyphen.

Ex. [ABC-12345-12345]

I need the cell to read [12345]

Can anyone provide a formula that can remove this data?
