Hi @Pravallika20 

 

Ideally, column names should be unique so that they can be referenced. But if you have multiple columns with the same name needed. You can use trick like below. You can add space for each occurrence of column that way the names are different but they will be displayed as the same.

 

"Column1"

"Column1 "

"Column1  "

Hi @Pravallika20 ,

 

It depends on what is the objective that you plan to achieve, ie: you want to use that data by grouping under one same header with three different sub- header.

 

If you just want the data header name to be the same, then the approach shared by @atcodedog05 is the solution that can solve your problem.

 

Thank you.
