Copy column name from the column right next to it

Hello everyone, 

 

May I know how can I update the column names - F1, F3, F5, F7, F9 to "AB", "CD", "EF", "FG", "IJ" in Alteryx?

Hello,

 

Each column name should be unique. You could rename the column F1 by using a formula tool. In Formula you would add new column, and you could name it A_B to differentiate it from Column AB.
