U can use:
1. Get the required substring in SQL query. Instead accessing table direcly write queries to access data in Source OLEDB if you are using OLEDB as source. Please do not use this if you use Excel as source.

or

2. Use Derived column and use string functions. A basic idea would be, find index of "-" and set as the length for substring to be resturned.
