UPDATE Table1
SET day1 = CASE WHEN day1 IS NULL THEN NULL WHEN day1 NOT LIKE '%[^0-9]%' THEN 0 ELSE '#' END,
day11 = CASE WHEN day11 IS NULL THEN NULL WHEN day11 NOT LIKE '%[^0-9]%' THEN 0 ELSE '#' END,
day111 = CASE WHEN day111 IS NULL THEN NULL WHEN day111 NOT LIKE '%[^0-9]%' THEN 0 ELSE '#' END,
day2 = CASE WHEN day2 IS NULL THEN NULL WHEN day2 NOT LIKE '%[^0-9]%' THEN 0 ELSE '#' END,
day22 = CASE WHEN day22 IS NULL THEN NULL WHEN day22 NOT LIKE '%[^0-9]%' THEN 0 ELSE '#' END,
day222 = CASE WHEN day222 IS NULL THEN NULL WHEN day222 NOT LIKE '%[^0-9]%' THEN 0 ELSE '#' END

Replace content of a "field" is done by UPDATE.

but it must be depending on tow rows
OF THE EMPLOYEE
the employee have tow rows
val=1
val=2
not only replace the characters
only if i put number or 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 above the cell of the employee

ID fname val day1 day11 day111
---------------------------------
111 aaaa 2 1 3
111 aaaa 1 A C

like this condition not work !!!
because i don't HAVE number or 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 above THE cell

ID fname val day1 day11 day111
---------------------------------
111 aaaa 2
111 aaaa 1 A C

tnx
