Is it possible to rename a query column in dashboards? Right now, those columns will contain the name of the table they come from, and/or the aggregation action performed.

I suppose Column Manipulation option can be used, but I’m not sure if the numeric values will get affected i.e. sorting won’t work as expected.

Manually renaming columns is something we have on our backlog. This is becoming a rather popular request so we’ll make sure to give this the right priority.

Some notes:

  • The table name suffix has already been removed from the columns from 10.2.10 onwards (see RN34302).
  • The current column manipulations (concatenate and regular expression matching) will indeed make a new column of type string. This will have different side effects for filtering and sorting.
