One way:
=RIGHT(A1,MATCH(" ",MID(A1,LEN(A1)+1-ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&LEN (A1))),1),0)-1) Array-entered (press ctrl + shift + enter).

Do you have a column of mixed numeric and text entries and you want to delete the last text entry? What if the last text entry is more than one word, delete only the last word or the entire entry? This will probably require VB code to accomplish.

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. The formula will
extract the last word. Use this instead: =LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-MATCH(" ",MID(A1,LEN(A1)+1-ROW(INDIRECT ("1:"&LEN(A1))),1),0)) Also array-entered.
