    It might help if you uploaded a small example (maybe 20 lines) so we can see how your data is laid out. Also show how you want the results to look. (Go Advanced>Manage Attachments)

    In the simple sense - using =LEFT(A1, LEN(A1)-3) will get what you need, how you fit this into your spreadsheet with multiples is why Mr Chemist is asking for a sample worksheet.
