String Operation Formula

IF CONTAINS((Mid(upper([Name]),1,Find(upper([Name]),'.')-1)),"-") THEN
(Mid((Mid(upper([Name]),1,Find(upper([Name]),'.')-1)),1,Find((Mid(upper([Name]),1,Find(upper([Name]),'.')-1)),'-')-1))
ELSE(Mid(upper([Name]),1,Find(upper([Name]),'.')-1))

Please provide sanitized sample data that fully covers your issue. If you paste the data into a table in your post or use one of the file services it will be easier to work with. Avoid posting screenshots of your source data if possible.

Please show the expected outcome based on the sample data you provided. Screenshots of the expected outcome are ok.
