Hi @ksarker..
Hopefully I understand your question..
You can use calculated field to replace "Only "

Column C= IF [Column A]='123' and [Column B]='XYZ' THEN 'Only_EXP' ELSE '' ENDIF

something is wrong on this equation i think else and endif doesn't go together. i tried it but get error.

Hi @ksarker ,

 

@TheUdbhav 's formula seems to be correct.

Column C= IF [Column A]='123' and [Column B]='XYZ' THEN 'Only_EXP' ELSE '' ENDIF

 

Please make sure you use TWO quotations between ELSE and ENDIF, not one double-quotation.

For your reference, I attach the same workflow, which works on my PC.

Good luck.

Thanks Yoshero but its didn't solve my last part of the problem. first two parts are ok then replace didn't work. if condition for column A and B are true then i want to replace entire column C into "EXP Only" and i am missing this replacement part.

@ksarker drag a formula tool onto the canvas. In the formula tool select the column "EXP Only". 

Use @Yoshiro_Fujimori 's logic:
IF contains([Column A],'123') and contains([Column B],'XYZ') THEN [Column C] ELSE '' ENDIF

@ksarker Are you looking for something like this

@binuacs I think @ksarker has/wants a column called [Only EXP]. If those conditions are met, take the values from [Column C] and put them into the column [Only EXP]

My Question was if Column A = ABC then Column B= XYZ then replace anything from Column C into "EXP Only" (meaning how to update Column C for line 1 and 3 with "EXP Only")
