Put this formula in an adjacent column:

=IF(RIGHT(A1,3)=" - ",LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3),A1)

Then copy this down as required.

Hope this helps.

In my data, I have some cells that end in " - " (space dash space). *I would

would like to keep it if it is in the middle. I know that the TRIM function
deletes a trailing space, can I edit it to delete a trailing space dash
space? Here's an example:

Mary - poodle
Theo - beagle
Barney -
Jacob - pug
Schmitty -

So, I want "Mary - poodle" to stay the same, and "Barney - " to become just
"Barney" like this

Mary - poodle
Theo - beagle
Barney
Jacob - pug
Schmitty

Thank you!
