If you just want to create abbreviations for multiple column names You can use Table.Renamecolumns.

 

Table.RenameColumns - PowerQuery M | Microsoft Docs

Are you wanting to map the current column names to corresponding abbreviate versions or just limit the number of characters in the column names?
