SUBSTITUTE(originaltext; oldtext; newtext; which)
- In originaltext, removes oldtext, inserts newtext in its place, and returns the result. oldtext and newtext can have different lengths.
- which (optional) is a number which specifies which occurrence of oldtext to replace (counting from the left). If omitted, all occurrences are replaced.
