Renaming columns


Often, when you find data to use in a model, the columns have names that you will want to change. The end users of the model need to easily be able to determine what is in the data that you are presenting. This recipe shows you how to change a column name from the diagram view of the model.

How to do it...

  1. Change your model view from the Grid view to the Diagram view.

  2. Right-click on the column you want to rename. In this example, CASENUMBER to bring up the options and select Rename.

  3. CASENUMBER is now highlighted, change the name to CASE_NUMBER and hit Enter.

How it works...

The model designer allows for editing of column names. You selected the column to rename and then changed the name by adding an underscore.
