Quite often, default field names are not very human-friendly. Therefore, Arcadia Data added an option to automatically adjust field names at the level of the dataset.
The following steps demonstrate how to change the default column names, automatically.
On the main navigation bar, click Data.
The Data view appears, open on the Datasets tab.
In the Datasets area, select
World Life Expectancy
(samples.world_life_expectancy)

In the Dataset Detail menu, select Fields.
In the Fields interface, select Edit Fields.
Near the top of the page, click Title Case.

as gdp
.
Click Save.
