If your cells end with " - ", space-dash-space then:

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

In my data, I have some cells that end in " - " (space dash space). I
would
like to delete the space dash space if it is the last thing in the cell. I
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!
