    A solution is required for a Data Cleansing File

    Hello all and good morning,

    Your excel expertise is required. Every term, I have the job of cleansing from a large excel file of all names (e.g. George, Sarah, Ben etc) and bad words (e.g. swear words) from survey responses.

    All found names are to be replaced with "<this staff member>" and all bad words are to be replaced with "*****".

    For an example:
    Raw Data: Professor Spence was a great lecturer however I found that the tutorials run by Associate Professor Smith was bollocks.

    Cleansed Data: <this staff member> was a great lecturer however I found that the tutorials run by <this staff member> was *****.

    I have attached a snippet of my working data file.

    Any suggestions or advise is appreciated.
