    It's currently not possible to rename a column without the M code referencing the existing column name (not without the use of complex function). It would be great if we could easily rename based on Column number as well. E.g. Column2 will be renamed as "Region" regardless of what Column2 is currently called. This prevents issues with future refreshes when the promoted header from column 2 changes
