Try: =TRIM(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",50)),50)))))

Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]
Remember, saying thanks only takes a second or two. Click the little star to give some Rep if you think an answer deserves it.
Small correction to cope with entries with no additional characters:
=IF(LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",""))>1,TRIM(LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ",REPT(" ",50)),50))))),A1)
