Rename column headers in a table

Any ways to rename column headers in the TABLE visual ? The header is default to be the column/measure name. But I need to change to a different name without needing to change the column/measure name...

    Hi,

     

    If you change to Format pane in the Visualizations Pane you will find a tab called title. Enable it to type and format your title for your visual.

I see answers for changing a "Chart Title"... and also the Data Column Name... but the user is asking if there is a way to rename the column heading in a table vizulization.  For example, in my shipment data I do a unique count of the "Shipment ID" to determine what I would like to call "Shipment Volume" or in some cases just "Volume".   Instead PowerBI forces this column heading to be called "Count of Shipment ID" which is taking up a lot of horizontal space in my table for a column with data that is typically 1-6 in length.  Tableau has this feature which they call "Aliases".   Would be great to see this in PowerBI.
