Default Deleting backslashs and everything after

Hello,

I have 1800 rows of muni bond ratings that were saved in the wrong
format. Does anyone know how to loop threw a range and finding all
cells that contain a backslash and deleting it and everything after
it?

Thanks

DataText to ColumnsDelimited by backslash.

Select second column to "skip" and Finish.
