    How to Find and Replace Function Using Wildcard or Formula

    Hi Excel Forum Team,

    I have a long column set of cells each containing a the vendors name that I only require and also contains text content such as spaces, colon, and the companies location that I don't wish to have.

    So, my question is who do I perform a Find and Replace function (or possibly formula) to remove all cell text content (spaces, colon, and the companies location) just after and to the right of the last letter of the vendor name?

    For Example...

    Original Vendor Name List Export
    3M CO :INDIANAPOLIS
    AMT METAL FABRICATORS INC :RICHMOND
    ART LLC ADVANCED REFINING TECHNOLOGIES LLC :COLUMBIA
    ABB INC :WESTERVILLE

    Then after the Find and Replace function (or possibly formula) each cell text will look like this.

    Modified Vendor Name List
    3M CO
    AMT METAL FABRICATORS INC
    ART LLC ADVANCED REFINING TECHNOLOGIES LLC
    ABB INC

    Thank you for your help and review of the problem I'm having trouble solving.

    Garrett
