Thank you for replying -so the state  column will have TX replace NHCTX and IL to replace  NHCIL in the same column in the output?

But, I have one column that contains NHCIL and NHCTX and I need them to output on the same column but without the NHC infront of them

are you trying to say... 

 

I have one column that contains NHCIL and a separate column that contains NHCTX  ?

 

Can you provide an Excel file with some sample input data, may 20 rows of data?  And an example of what you the output to look like.

No, I have one column named state that has  NHCTX and NHCIL  but I need this same state column to  show in output as TX and IL in the same  column. I need the column to stay the same besides removing the NHC infront of the states.

In the Formula tool, select your existing field name in the drop-down for Select Column.  This will update the value in your existing field.
