How to remove underscore from multiply columns

Ro2

Hi,

I have an Alteryx output feeding into another Alteryx workflow. This output has 175 columns with _ underscore where I want to replace with a space.

For Example

Oct_Sales_Milk

I want this to read

Oct Sales Milk.

 

I could use the Select tool to rename the column however I'm not going to do this 175 times 🙂 

Up to now I have been downloading it to excel and using the replace function but the data is starting to get too big now to download to excel.

Any ideas?

Just to be clear, it's the column header I'm trying to change.
