Hi, 

 

Since the name of heading of some columns of data keep changing with multiple batches of data, so that I need to amend the workflow every time when necessary. As shown below the name of heading of column c and d change, is there a way that I can assign a name or specify the column so that the workflow no need to change?

Alteryx offers several ways to update column headers dynamically.  would be able to help you with sample workflow if you could share sample data. What you have shared is output you are looking for

You can create a static list of Names (ID, Name, Date1, Date2) and use a Dynamic Rename to rename your fields
