Hello,

I Have the below kind ot text that repeats over 100-200 lines:

8-LL-001D-RJS / MSIAG-01 - (GI) 1 tramo - ESPECIAL
8-LL-014D-RJS / MSIAG-02 -(GI) 1 tramo - FL
3-RJS-739 (PO) - 7 tramos
and many other "X-XX-XXX - X tramos"

I need a new text which is always the words left to the left of "X tramos.."
Example:
8-LL-001D-RJS / MSIAG-01 - (GI) 1 tramo - ESPECIAL -> 8-LL-001D-RJS / MSIAG-01 - (GI)
8-LL-014D-RJS / MSIAG-02 -(GI) 1 tramo - FL -> 8-LL-014D-RJS / MSIAG-02 -(GI)
3-RJS-739 (PO) - 7 tramos -> 3-RJS-739 (PO)

Atention that sometimes we have singular and sometimes plural (1 tramos, 2 tramos). Actually don't know if this matters.

Could anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
If there will always be ")" character to the left of "1 tramos", this formula should work: =LEFT(A1,FIND(")",A1,1))

This may not apply to the rest of your data but it works with the sample data
=LEFT(A1,SEARCH(")",A1))
