I want customize colom name while extracting the report

[nitin gupta1]

Hello ServiceNow Community members, I am looking to get right procedures to extract report in Excel but here is one condition I don't want same colom name as present in servicenow instance, I want to customise them before we extract it to in Excel, For example - we have sys_created_on field but when we extract it should come as something different, I want to modify few fields before extracting, Please let me know steps to do it if it is possible, I am looking to do it on plateform analytics, Regards, Nitin Gupta

Hi @nitin gupta1 

ServiceNow does not natively allow you to rename default column headers directly from the standard report generation window.

However, users/community member have found out some alternative tricks. Try it ( not tested at my end)
