I have some data like
ID Comments 12 No-DS/ALG PCN 13 NKMA/NO DS 15 Allergy PCN / HTN 16 All Lasix / NO/DS I need to standarize many of the non-standard comments. So I am looking for a way to go thru the comments field and find for example NO-DS or NO DS or NO/DS or NKDS and replace all of those with NODS and to also go thru and replace Allergy or ALL or Alg with Allergies. Any ideas on how to do this? Ideally I would like to try making a table of the items I wanted replaced and what to replace them with. For example Find Replace NO-DS NODS NO/DS NODS NKDS NODS ALL Allergies then use something like replace or vlookup to fix these, but I am not sure how to get the formulas to use the table for the find and replace pairs. Thanks for any ideas, Andrew V. Romero |
