Hi @Shyam_Pragash

Try this below expression

You can achieve this in String manipulation

“Hmilk”.Replace(“Hmilk”,“H-milk”)

Hmilk → Input String

Hi @Shyam_Pragash ,

There Where is used to Filter results, while you are trying to make changes to the Collection itself which is why you run into this issue.

The right option here would be to go with a Select clause like so:

Dt_RR.AsEnumerable().Select(Function(a) Dt_RR.Clone.LoadDataRow({a.Field(OF String)("Business").ToString.Replace("Hmilk","H-Milk"), row(1),row(2)...},False)).CopyToDataTable()

Its not the exact solution for your problem, since I am not aware of how many columns your DataTable consists of.

A little bit of clarity on that will put us in a better position to assist you.

Hi @Shyam_Pragash

Try this below expression

(From r In Dt.AsEnumerable
Let ra = r.ItemArray.Select(Function (x) x.ToString.Trim.Replace("Hmilk",“H-milk”)).toArray()
Select Dt.Rows.Add(ra)).CopyToDataTable()

Hi @Shyam_Pragash ,

Dt_RR.AsEnumerable().Select(Function(a) Dt_RR.Clone.LoadDataRow({a.Field(OF String)("Business").ToString.Replace("Hmilk","H-Milk"), row(1),row(2)...},False)).CopyToDataTable()

The {row(0),row(1),row(2)…} refers to each column in order.

If your datatable consist of 5 columns, with the “Business” column on the fourth column, this is what it shuld look like:

{row(0), row(1),row(2),a.Field(OF String)(“Business”).ToString.Replace(“Hmilk”,“H-Milk”) row(4)}

Hi @Shyam_Pragash ,

Could you try this?

Dt_RR.AsEnumerable().Select(Function(a) Dt_RR.Clone.LoadDataRow({a.Field(OF String)("Business").ToString.Replace("Hmilk","H-Milk"), a(1),a(2),a(3),a(4)},False)).CopyToDataTable()

Sorry, I seem to have made a mistake, here is a sample workflow:

image

Dt_RR.AsEnumerable().Select(Function(a) Dt_result.Clone.LoadDataRow({a.Field(OF String)("Business").ToString.Replace("Hmilk","H-Milk"), a(1),a(2),a(3),a(4)},False)).CopyToDataTable()

Hi @Shyam_Pragash ,

Provided the column “Business” always shows up at the first index, could you try this?

(From row In Dt_RR.AsEnumerable()
Let modCol = row.Field(Of String)("Business").ToString.Replace("Hmilk","H-Milk")
Let ra = row.ItemArray.Skip(1).Prepend(modCol).ToArray()
Select Dt_result.Rows.Add(ra)).CopyToDataTable()

You can try to read only the particular column. Get the row count

Hello @Shyam_Pragash,

I dont know if you tried it, but why not using a for each row?

Inside the for each row, assign this column to myvar = row(“Business”).ToString

Then if myvar = “HMilk” → assign: myvar = “H-Milk”

Hi @Shyam_Pragash ,

I’ve started penning a series on LINQ since not many know how to use it.
Its still a work in progress, and feel free to offer suggestions.
