How to change the column name in Excel 

Excel’s column names are alphabetized by default. The contents of a column are not indicated by the column’s name. As a result, you frequently rename the column to suit your convenience. Excel uses numbers to designate rows while using alphabets to denote columns. Additionally, rows can have their names changed. 

It is possible to rename a column in Excel for any reason. The steps for renaming a column in Excel are covered in this section. If we select Column B1, Let’s examine how we can change the name of this column. 

Method 1  – Rename the column with a display bar. 

Step – 1 – Select the Column 

• Select the column which we need to rename. 
• Suppose below screen. 

Step – 2 – Delete the column name from the bar 

• Delete the Column Name from the bar under circle as shown in the screen.
