The SUBSTITUTE function syntax has the following arguments (argument: A value that provides information to an action, an event, a method, a property, a function, or a procedure.):
  • Text  Required. The text or the reference to a cell containing text for which you want to substitute characters.
  • Old_text  Required. The text you want to replace.
  • New_text  Required. The text you want to replace old_text with.
  • Instance_num  Optional. Specifies which occurrence of old_text you want to replace with new_text. If you specify instance_num, only that instance of old_text is replaced. Otherwise, every occurrence of old_text in text is changed to new_text.
