When CrossTab is used, string data in fields is converted to field names. If the data in the data field has a hyphen in it, this is automatically converted to an underscore when it becomes a field name.
Hyphens are legal in field names, so can we make CrossTab tolerate the string as is without changing it? If that is a breaking change, could a checkbox be added that allows users to get CrossTab to try to use the text as is and exception if the string is illegal as a field name?
Hyphens are required in the field name when using the Download tool, as some header names like "Content-Type" have hyphens in them.
