Hi, @joseph248 

According to your description, you follow my steps:

  1. I make the same change as what you did, and I get the same problem, like this:

  1. Then I select the step before current step in the “Applied steps” on the right, like this:

  1. I change the column to be consistent with the column name in Excel, like this:

  1. I go to the “Advanced Editor” to change the column name in last step:

And you can get what you want.

 

If this result is not what you want, you can post some sample data(without sensitive data) and your expected result.
