Extract Data Until a Specific String

insomned

Hello, I have a column of data in which I need to extract everything until either "." or ",". For instance,

 

Name 

 

Tony Hotels, Resort

Mada Hotels - Apartments

 

For this I would need 

 

Name Extract

 

Tony Hotels,

Mada Hotels 

 

as the end goal.

 

Could anyone help?

 

Thanks a million!

Apologies, what if I needed the data until the very first punctuation mark? Mainly "," or "-". Thanks!
