Replace - Newby warning!

MaryCann

Hello everyone.  Warning:  I am super new at Alteryx, so, if you reply, I kinda need detailed how-to stuff.  Okay, so, I have this column called "person hist baseline", unfortunately in this column "Caridovascular" is listed, not "Cardiovascular".  I'm guessing I need a Formula, with the Output Column on "person hist baseline" but, my Replace formula did not work.  Like I said, I'm new to this, so, probably did something wrong.  And, of course, I don't want to bug my boss for help - just call me stubborn.  How should the Replace formula be structured?

 

Thank you in advance!!  :)

@MaryCann IF you have more words to replace please go with the Find and Replace tool
