Hello friends,

i want to convert all words in a string into singular

For example:
if i have a string: " she sells sea shells on the sea shores"
i want to convert it into:
" she sell sea shell on the sea shore"

Regards
Damian

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
This can never be fully covered…

i can use regexp to cover es and s ,
however i am facing a challenge if the word is horses- it changes it to a hors
i used e?s in pattern at the end of the word,

Any ideas?
