Having build lots of calculated measures and columns i now find that one of my data columns has a misleading name as it is called "Unique Customers" but really should be "Unique Households" with "Unique customers" being a different definition. If this was excel I could just do a find and replace so every measure that has "unique customer" gets changed. Is there anyway to do this in Powerpivot as in the past i have change the column name and then searched for all the errors and corrected them one at a time. However while not only being painful slow has also resulted in completely unreadable data and corrupted data models.

Thanks for any advice

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
In this case no it is linked to an excel table. I have had both situation though both raw data column naming and calcualted column naming.
