Find and Replace

In this document, you’ll learn how to use the Find and Replace function in Astera Dataprep to search for specific values and replace them with new ones across your dataset.

1. To begin, click on the Cleanse option in the toolbar and select Find and Replace from the drop-down.

1. This will open the Recipe Configuration – Find and Replace panel.

1. In this panel, you’ll configure the following options:

• Column Selection Properties

  • Apply to entire dataset: Applies the find and replace action to all columns.

  • Apply to specific column(s): Applies the action to selected columns only.

• Find and Replace

  • Match Case: Enable this checkbox to make the search case sensitive.

  • Find: Enter the value you want to search for.

  • Replace: Enter the value you want to replace it with.

1. Once you’re done, click Apply . In the Grid, you’ll see that all matching values have been replaced accordingly in the selected column(s).

1. Alternatively, you can right-click on any column header in the Grid and go to Cleanse > Find and Replace. The same configuration panel will appear with the column already selected. Make any changes you need and click Apply to update your data.
