Is MEER always between ‘-’ and ‘-’. If so, you could use a multi-step process. In you first query transform use the substr and index functions to strip away everything up to and including the first ‘-’. In your second query transform use the same functions to get all data before the second ‘-’.

The Data Services function word_ext() can easily pick a value out of string when you are looking for a specific position.
