Rename multiple columns based on a delimited

Anonymous — Wed, 06 Nov 2019 13:34:31 GMT

Hello,

I would like to re-name all of my columns based a delimited. right now my columns are named like this : Site.Site ; Invoice.Invoice and I would like a custom query which renames them all to the value before the ".". I found some similar threads but not one with text.beforedelimiter.

Thank you.
