Spelling correction

[JamesSimison]

Hi, 

we have found a small error in a much used data entry form, some months were shortenend and others were not, January to Jan, February to Feb etc. Before we were able to get the form fixed we were able to add a quick text replace function

"= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","Jan","January",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"label"})" 

to fix the issue in the report side of things. Now the form has been fixed it is replacing January with Januaryuary which is not ideal. 

Is there any way to change the Jan and leave the January well alone 

Cheers

@JamesSimison sounds good. Cheers!!

@JamesSimison try this expression:

Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type", each [label], each if [label] = "Jan" then "January" else [label] ,Replacer.ReplaceText,{"label"})

Cheers, I managed a work around by using the match entire cell contents in the replace values menu. I'll keep hold of this solution if the way I've used fails in the future.
