Extract Text between delimiter last but 2 from Right

Hey all

I am trying to extract test from the string the last but two coulmns (delimiter's)

 

NPO-63928320-Robert Robert James-6/31/19-DAH
NPO-39528320-Li Wang-06/24/2017-SHA
NPO-39285320-Xi Nam Suas Aasq-07/23/2017-EKA
NPO-3928e320-Rich Braden-05/21/2014-KAM
NPO-392y8320-Justine Schimpf-08/21/16-SHAM
NPO-39283g20-Nadla Schimpf-02/22/17-ASQ

EUAS-392885320-Jillan Dang Romeri Hernadaez-01/07/2017-SLA

 

So my columns look like these, imported from a xlsx and I want just the names to be seperated, which happens to be inbetween the last but two delimitters. Can someone has way to extract apart from splitting based on delimiter option and using if else? I am looking more like a DAX or a formula way to implement in these.

 

Spoiler
For example, NPO-63928320-Robert Robert James-6/31/19-DAH should return Robert Robert James
