# Rename column

Use the **Rename Column** transformation to replace existing column names with names that better align with your business terminology and reporting requirements.

Renaming columns makes measures and dimensions easier to understand and can improve consistency across reports and planning sheets.

The following example shows how to rename the **Value** column from an unpivot transformation to **Sales**.

1. On the **Transform** tab, select **Rename Column**.
2. In **Column**, select **Value**.
3. In **New Column Name**, enter **Sales**.
4. Select **Apply**.<br>

After you apply the transformation, the column displays the updated name.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fabricplan.com/planning-sheets/how-tos/infobridge/data-transformations/rename-column.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
