Trimming column rows where there is a dash

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 237

Hey I was wondering if it is possible in a data table to trim column row values to the point where everything to the left of the dash is trimmed. 

 

So for example I may have a row like: "First - Blue Bike" and I just want to show Blue Bike

 

Additionally there are a couple of odd outliers in this dataset that may be tricky like one is similar to something like this: "First - Second - Red Bike" And I just want to show Red Bike

 

If anyone knows how I can use trim to solve this issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
