    removing text from a string and install in another column

    Hi, I have thousands of entries in my music catalogue. Some are entered as example Cell A1 contains, ""Hello - Adelle"".
    How do I remove from the "-" (Adelle), and place in cell B2 and then delete the extracted part from cell A1?
    Thanks for any help,

    Thanks, but that only removes part of the cell data required.
