itREPLACER
Same as Excel's built-in REPLACE function, but counts from right to left.
Replaces part of a text string, based on the specified starting position counting from the right, and on the specified number of characters, with a different text string.
Locates one text string within a second text string, and returns the number of the ending (rightmost) position of the first text string from the last character of the second text string.
itREPLACER is intended to be as similar as possible to Excel's built-in REPLACE function, while counting from right to left. For much more powerful and versatile replacing, see itREPLACE.
