Renaming Calculated Fields
When you create a calculated field, Results automatically names the field with “qbf-” followed by a unique number. For example, Results might name a field “qbf-004.” While qbf-004 might be a logical name to Results, it is not intuitive. Therefore, you can rename a calculated field with a more descriptive name. For example, if qbf-004 calculates the number of days between the current date and the ship date, rename it Days_To_Ship.
Follow these steps to rename a calculated field:
- Choose Field
Properties. The Properties dialog box appears:
![]()
- Select the calculated field whose name you want to change from the Name drop-down list.
- Choose the Rename button. The Rename Field dialog box appears:
![]()
- Enter the new calculated field name, then choose OK to rename the field and return to the Properties dialog box.
The field name can be up to 32 characters long and consist of alphabetic characters (A-Z or a-z), digits (0-9), and special characters ($, &, #, -, and _). In addition, field names must begin with a letter (a-Z or a-z). The field name must also be unique within the query and cannot contain spaces.
- Choose OK.
