Here is what I'm working with -
Nationwide Business Talk 450 03/29/11 - 04/28/11 03/29 - 04/28

The amount after Business Talk can be different, such as 2000 instead of 450.
Is there a good way to separate this so all that is left is Nationwide Business Talk 450?

I use =IFERROR(LEFT(A18,FIND("Msg",A18) + 2),IFERROR(LEFT(A18,FIND("Share",A18)+4),"DNE"))
to take care of the items listed below and it seems to work just fine. I just can't seem to get the one that has minutes to separate like it.

Nationwide Bus Talk Share 03/29/11 - 04/28/11 03/29 - 04/28
Nationwide Bus 450 Email+Msg 03/29/11 - 04/28/11 03/29 - 04/28

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

When they said...
When they said you are going to "Excel at life", they meant you "will be doing Excel your whole life".
IF your examples are truly representative of the rest of your data, then I think this formula should work for you...

=LEFT(A1,FIND("/",A1)-4)

That should be work perfectly. Thank you so much. It's so simple I can't believe I didn't see that.
