Thanks Mark, can't help but laugh when I saw this...faced this challenge, and drove me mad for a whole week before I figured it out, coincidentally with one of your other videos. But happy to learn this nonetheless. Many thanks! 🙂

I think if you would move with adding custom dates column after promoting headers but still referring to step no 2, it would not require changing column name.

What if I want change more columns in 1 step?
I Have this:
#"Changed Type1" = Columns", {{Table.ColumnNames(#"Removed Columns"){1}, Int64.Type}})
and this works fine
I like change 1-5
Thanks
