I have rows of strings in a column like below

Agent Name & ID: Daniel Hina - 113816

I need to extract the names which is delimited by : and -

I understand that this would require a combination of mid and find formulas but am unable to write a working formula

Can someone help
 

Excel Facts

Enter current date or time
Ctrl+: enters current time. Ctrl+; enters current date. Use Ctrl+: Ctrl+; Enter for current date & time.
If you need it in VBA:
Code:
aa = "Agent Name & ID: Daniel Hina - 113816"
MsgBox Split(Split(aa, ":")(1), "-")(0)
