Hello,

I tried to find an example online, but no luck.

I have a huge list of strings that some of them end with "ini" as a suffix. I would like to replace it with "not". The trick here is that the length of words is variable, it can go from 3 until 15 and more. Not all words have such suffix, I need to find it first and replace it regardless of the words' length.

Thank in advance.

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Perhaps.

=IF(RIGHT(A1,3) ="ini", LEFT(A1,LEN(A1)-3)&"not", A1)
