I have a politics dataset where 0 means an incumbent won an election and 1 means a challenger won

I was wondering if there was a way to assign the word "Incumbent" to every value of zero and "Challenger" to every 1 on my google sheet

Nice to meet you, *****!
Do you want to replace the numbers with the appropriate words in the table?
Customer Reply
yes! And I was trying to do this in a new column so I didn't have to delete the column of 0s and 1s (if possible)

Got it
*****, I suggest you use the Find and Replace function in the Google Sheets to replace all 0 and 1 values with the words. It would change the rows though
Do you want to try the replacement function? I can instruct you on this, *****

Okay
Please, follow the instructions below:
1. Click Edit.
2. Next to "Find," type the word you want to find, If you want to replace the word, enter the new word
next to "Replace with."
3. To search for the word, click Find.
4. Optional: Narrow your search by using an option below.
Match case: Matches only words with the same capitalization.
Match using regular expressions: In Google Docs, matches words based on regular expressions.
5. To replace the highlighted word, click Replace. To replace the word every time it’s used, click Replace all.
Is everything clear with the provided instruction?
