You can use subfield if your values always has the same logic that you need the text after the "-" character e.g.

Subfield(TerritoryName,'- ',2) as NewTerritoryName

If the data follows the same idea Something1 - Something2 and you want to remove Something1, you can try this:

SubField(FieldName, ' - ', 2) as TrimmedFieldName

I hope this helps.

Best,
