Answer 1

If you are OK with excel formulas, please try this,

=SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-"&TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A1,"-",REPT(" ",LEN(A1))),LEN(A1))),"/")

Answer 2

You can do something like this.

Sub RemoveLastStingPart()
Dim rng As Range
Dim intLastRow As Long
Dim strTemp As String
Dim aryTemp() As String




With ActiveSheet

    intLastRow = .UsedRange.Rows.Count
    Set rng = .Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(intLastRow, 1))

    For Each cell In rng
        strTemp = cell.Value
        aryTemp = Split(strTemp, "-")
        strTemp = ""
        For i = 0 To UBound(aryTemp) - 1
            strTemp = strTemp & aryTemp(i) & "-"
        Next i
        strTemp = Left(strTemp, Len(strTemp) - 1)
        cell.Offset(0, 1).Value = strTemp
    Next cell


End With

End Sub
