Replace query is failing in PAD

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello Team, 

 

I am trying to use database actions to replace the text in the Excel column. But Replace query is failing with some unknown error. 

 

SQL Query - UPDATE [Sheet1$]
SET [%col_name%] =
REPLACE ([%col_name%] , 'R ', ' ' )

 

Issue:- I want to replace R with the empty string in this column. I don't want to use Excel find and replace function.
