Hi @rohit782192 ,

 

The replace function is a way that you can search (case sensitive) for any character, word, or variable and replace it with a variable that you define.

 

For the example that you provided, the following image shows a quick workflow that specifically states to find the word "Gupta" in the Last Name column and replace it with "Wright".

 

I hope this gives you a little bit of a head start on working with the replace function. I also suggest searching the help/documentation section to find more details from Alteryx directly.

@rohit782192 you can also check the available functions in the formula tool (fx - function)

How about when using the IN DB formula tool? the above solution does not work.
