Rename column name dynamically using variable

susmita_k — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 18:08:17 GMT

Is there a way to rename a field dynamically ? I am creating a comparison dashboard, and need to show the column like column_prod, column_cap. But the environment is a variable and chosen by user. I am not able to rename the column using a variable. Any help is really appreciated.

Hello @susmita_k ,

I think it is technically possible to use a variable in a dashboard, and this variable can be used to rename the field, something like this.

Used sample dql is

data record( a= "test", b= 3), record( a= "test1", b= 7), record( a= "test", b= 13), record( a= "test2", b= 10), record( a= "test3", b= 31), record( a= "test2", b= 45) | filter a==$Variable1 | summarize `$Variable1`=sum(b)

I’m not certain about your requirement, but maybe you can think in this direction or provide the exact requirement along with a sample query so we can look into it.
