500+ sentences, I need to seperate (text to columns) after the first "-"
only. There are subsequent "-" but I only want it seperated at the first.
And when I seperate it in the second column I do not want a space preceeding
the text. Can you give advice on this, any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Sample Data

AIR TAXI - An aircraft operator who conducts operations for hire or
compensation in accordance with FAR Part 135 in an aircraft with 30 or fewer
passenger seats and a payload capacity of 7,500# or less. An air taxi
operates on an on-demand basis and does not meet the "flight scheduled"
qualifications of a commuter.
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL (ATC) - A service operated by the appropriate authority
to promote the safe, orderly, and expeditious flow of air traffic.
AIRPORT TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER (ATCT) - A terminal facility that uses
air/ground communications, visual signaling, and other devices to provide ATC
services to aircraft operating in the vicinity of an airport or on the
movement area. Authorizes aircraft to land or takeoff at the airport
controlled by the tower or to transit the Class D airspace area regardless of
flight plan or weather conditions (IFR or VFR). A tower may also provide
approach control services (radar or non-radar).
ALCLAD - Trademark name of Alcoa for high-strength sheet aluminum clad with
a layer (approximately 5.5% thickness per side) of high-purity aluminum,
popularly used in airplane manufacture.

Here is the solution I posted in response to your first post:
=left(a1,find("-",a1)-2)
=right(a1,len(a1)-find("-",a1)-1)

The best solutions are almost always in response to the first post.
Additional posts just make them more difficult to find.

Regards,
Fred
