Removing everything after a dash

Hi,

I have a column where all the values are of the format 'word - word'.

For example:

Root
tenu- thin
equ- equal
rota - wheel
pon - place
via- way; road
dica- proclaim
duc- lead


I'm trying to delete the dash and everything that comes after the dash in all the cells. If the number of cells was small, I could have taken them out manually, but I have over 2,000 items similar to these in this column! I would appreciate any advice on how to perform this mass edit.

Thanks.

Try Edit/Replace
in 'Find' enter -*
in 'Replace' don't enter anything.

Thanks a lot, Heski. It worked perfectly.
