For the life of me, I can’t seem to do it and starting over again is a major annoyance when you have a lot of if/then/else statements.

We’ll allow renaming columns in the foreseeable future.

Since I see I can change the actual shown headings, the behind the scenes stuff isn’t quite a rush.
My trouble is, I keep experimenting with adding all these columns in several sheets and on the data sheet page and soon lose track of what does what, especially if I just drop in something like “test435”. Ha.
