To edit a single column name, select the column and begin typing. You can also edit the column name in the Column Info window, or select the header and press Enter.

To edit all of the column names at once, click Cols > Column Names and select one of the following options:

Move up

Moves the first row of data up to replace the column names.

Move up and append

Moves the first row of data up and appends the entries to the existing column names.

Move down

Moves the columns names down to become a row of data. The columns are then named Column 1, Column 2, and so on.

Recode Column Names

Opens the Recode window to recode the column names. See Recode Data in a Column.
