Default How do I truncate something like this?

I have a column with text like

BRAND X - version 1
BRAND X - version 2.4
BRAND Y - version 3D
BRAND Y - version 8C
BRAND Y - version 3.5.6
BRAND Z - version 5X

and so on. It's very long spreadsheet. I'd like to chop off the
version info (which is of varying length) and group everything
together by just the brand name. How do I do this?

Thanks for any input.
