Renaming Fields Best Practice
Hi everyone,
I need to rename most of the fields in my tables to be more user friendly, is it best practice to rename them in Power Query or in the Data/Report view once I bring in the data? The project just started so I don't need to worry about things breaking.
Thanks!
kprom I would highly recommend doing it in PQ because it will help to understand at what steps you are making the changes in case they need to be reviewed in the future.
