Vlookup/ replace multiple fields

Is there a way to Vlookup/ replace multiple fields, have been doing "Find Replace" but there are over 50 fields, if there is a single tool to perform that function instead of 50 "Find replace" that would be awesome! Thank you.

Thank you! That is very helpful! That solve my problem, but just curious, what if I only need to replace it for NY, CA and HI? Is there a way to do that as well?

Hi,

 

One option is to transpose the data to consolidate all the values into a single column, find and replace, then cross-tab to revert the table back
