Hi @0bb4628e217fd43ac86ac9294

Try this

(From row In DT.AsEnumerable()
                  Let newValue = System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex.Replace(row.Field(Of String)("ColumnB"), "-[0-9]+$", "")
                  Select DT.Clone.Rows.Add({row.Field(Of String)("ColumnA"), newValue})).CopyToDataTable()

Cheers!!
