delete text in a cell using certian criteria
One way: use a blank helper column with formulae dragged down as required
=LEFT(A1,SEARCH("-",A1)-1) for deleting from A1 to the right =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH("-",A1)) for deleting from A1 to the left and Copy/PasteSpecial(Values) helper column back to column A!
