1. Re: Rename field/column headers using another table
Hi Greg,
Did you already try to edit the alias for each member of the field?
Create Aliases to Rename Members in the View
Best,

2. Re: Rename field/column headers using another table
Thanks! Because there are so many fields I was hoping to do this as a join instead of typing each one in. Thoughts?

Greg, can you not get the result you want by doing a left join in the data source tab? I think that's how I've done it with ACS data in the past.
Do you have 2 separate workbooks or 2 sheets in the same workbook? I seem to recall that the ACS data comes out as CSV files but is there an option to output an xls instead?
If the join doesn't work, can you do a blend in the worksheet instead?

Yes, that would work if I pivoted the data. I was wondering if there was a way to not pivot the data and use a join (or a different function) to alias the column headers/field names.
Right now my data looks something like this:
Table 1.
Hc01EstVc01
Hc02EstVc01
Hc03EstVc01
Hc04EstVc01
Table 2.
Hc01EstVc01
Housing costs
Hc02EstVc01
Location
Hc03EstVc01
Number of units

What about a blending? And you could use a equivalence table.

How would you use that to rename the column fields?
