@obebewele The Find and Replace tool is an option for your use case

Thank you sir Binuacs,

But I have gone through all the examples of Find an Replace, I can only replace when there is a matching word.

 

For my case, I want to replace all occurrences of the word "CNF" with the word "EXEC"

 

Thanks

@obebewele in that case use the Replace() function in the formula tool
