Default Get characters on left of specified character in Excel

In an Excel column I am having values like
A1 - abcd - abcdedfg
A2 - abc - zyxwvu
A3 - ab - mnopq

I need a formula to get all characters left of the hypen for each value in
another column. Hypen may occur in any position (except first).

Any pointers? Thanks in Advance
