Default Not sure what function to use?

Hi all,

I have a cell (lets say A1) which has a vaule of "NW060D-Q1."

i would like cell a2 to strip the value of a1 to the "-" so A2 value =
"NW060D"

Grateful if anyone can suggest a formula or solutin for this.

Regards
Steve

Try...

=TRIM(LEFT(A1,FIND("-",A1)-1))

Hope this helps!
