RenameColumns

Gives columns clearer names without touching the data. List the current names and the new names in matching order; columns you do not list keep their names. Handy for cleaning up cryptic export headers, and often necessary before a Join or Union, which match columns by name.

OldNamesChoose one or more columns from the connected table. Comma-separated list of the current column names to change (e.g. Amt,Cust_Nm).
NewNamesComma-separated list of replacement names, in the same order as OldNames; the first old name gets the first new name, and both lists must have the same number of entries.

Example

A bank export arrives with TXN_DT, ACCT_NO, and AMT. Set OldNames to TXN_DT,ACCT_NO,AMT and NewNames to Date,Account,Amount. The renamed table appears as its own tab, and now lines up with your other transaction tables for a Union.
