Default Extracting all info in Cell except last 3 characters

I am trying to write a formula to give me the value of a cell except for the
last 3 characters. The amount of characters in the cell vary, but the last 3
that i want excluded remain constant. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Try it this way:

=LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3)

Hope this helps.
