Re: past col

See the character string functions in the JMP documentation or Scripting Index:

The Left( string, number of characters) should work for this case.

Re: past col

Another way (if you need the first part of the string befor the "-") would be to use the word function,

in a first step you can let JMP create the formula,

and then you need to set the word separating character to "-".
