Dynamic Select- Automatic updates

Hi, 

 

I have a workflow that I am trying to make as automated as possible. In an excel file that my data is coming from I have around 20 columns that are Months of the year. I am trying to find a way that the interface tool can automatically update the "March" to April. I have worked within the Interface tools a little bit, and I can't find a way that the action tool can update just the March in my formula.

In your Action tool, select "Expression" as the value or attribute to update, and at the bottom of the Action tool select "Replace a Specific String" and only keep March in there

Make sure you remove all other strings in "Replace a Specific String"  and dont modify the value in your dynamic select tool. I've seen some people change the values afterwards and spend time on finding this.
