I am using Power Pivot to pull in data from a SSAS tabular model and then creating an excel worksheet with data from the Power Pivot model. Unfortunately, the headings always include tablenamecolumnnamecolumnname (i.e. CustomerCustomerPhoneNumberCustomerPhoneNumber and PhoneNumber). If I have a data base table or another worksheet that has a column for the long name and a column for the name I want for the column, would it be possible to automate the renaming of the headings with special programming in Excel? If so, how? I haven't had any experience with doing anything like this. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
