Extact text from multiple Delimiters

I know there is a way to do this in Power Query but I am just wondering if there is an option in DAX primarily in a calculated column. 

Currently my data looks like this . Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Try this calculated column formula

Column = mid(Data[Code],SEARCH(" - ",Data[Code],,0)+3,50)

It does not work for the third one, because that symbol is not a -.
