Changing the column headings

Good afternoon, I have a problem. I need to change the column headers. So far I am doing it manually. Namely I have headers in German and I need them in English. The document schema, the number of columns is the same every time. Please help

 

This is what it looks like:

And this is how I would like it to look:

Hi @Ab02 ,

 

You simply need a Select tool. This allows you to rename columns, change data types, drop fields etc.

In the example below, you can see I'm renaming the columns in the "Rename" section:

You can find out more about the Select tool HERE.

 

I hope this helps,

Hi @Ab02 

 

You want to use the Dynamic Rename Tool. I've done it for the first column just add the old and new names to the Text Input,
