Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
Thank you for your help
To avoid string without "abc" is cut last 3 characters , i.e "axyz"->"a"
=IF(RIGHT(A1,3)="abc",LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3),A1)

Try this
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"abc","")
