    Hi Pamela,

    probably the quickest way is to copy lines to Excel, change values there and copy Excel back to NAV.

    Yes you are correct, in earlier version you had the facility to replace any column values by pressing Ctrl+H, but in Newer version in List page there is no such kind facility available.

    So you have to achieve by creating a ProcessingOnly Batch report or go to SQL Server directly and write a replace query as per below syntax (but its not recommended)

    UPDATE

       table_name

    SET

       column_name = REPLACE(column_name, 'old_string','new_string')

    WHERE

       condition;
