I wouldn't bother with a formula.
Just use DataText to ColumnsDelimited by hyphen.

You could do this with a formula but I think the easiest way to do it would
be to use 'text to columns' Highlight the cell(s) you want to remove the name from then go 'data'....'text to columns'....'deliminated'...Under deliminators click in the 'other' box and type in the "_" then hit finish. It should separate the name. (You may wish to insert some blank columns to the right of the column you will be working on as text to columns will want to create it's own columns.)
