Is there an equivalent to search and replace in ETL?

i have a data set that I need to change the word 'Not' to something else - the problem is i only want to change that word and only that word.

Any suggestions?

    @damen What does the data look like? If the field contains things like 'Not Repeat' with not at the beginning, then you could use a formula tile and do:

    REPLACE('Not ',`Col A`,'Replacement ') --Note the space after Not

    This would work if Not is the first word for the data in the column, but it depends on what your data looks like.

    Yeah, so I have NOT in the middle of the column as well. I think I decided to break up some of the columns, replace, the concat back.
