"part"? Which part? And what do you mean by "to stop the output"???

Please give an example of the data in the fields (perhaps with fieldnames) and
the desired output.

We cannot see your database nor read your mind.
A brief example saves a lot of guessing.

Something like having "ASD-ZXC" and getting "ASD" and "ZXC"?

=Left([FieldName],InStr([FieldName],"-")-1)
and
=Mid([FieldName],InStr([FieldName],"-")+1)
