Changing field names

Is there a way to change the naming of a field output. Our organization names are long and take up a lot of space on a chart. I would like to shorten the names so they appear cleaner on the chart. Can this be done in beast mode and can you give me an example.
Example: Mount Carmel Health System change to MCHS
I would need to do this with about 20 organization names
Thank you

Hi @user082291
From what I'm understanding you're asking about renaming the column / field name and not the values in the field itself?
You can do this several ways, the first is when editing a card you can select the field displayed in the x-axis/y-axis/series etc section on top of the graph and put a value into the Data Label field. You'd have to do this for all cards though.
Another option would be to utilize a Select Column tile and a Magic ETL DataFlow to rename the columns.
A third option (if you have access to the beta) is to utilize a DataView and rename the columns in the view itself which would update automatically when the underlying dataset is run which is likely the best option if you have access.

Do you want to rename columns or do you want to rename the VALUES in the column?
I think @GrantSmith is describing renaming columns and what you actually want to do is remap values.
If you're after the later,
You can build a beast mode with a CASE statement
CASE when `Company Name` = CompanyLongName' then 'A'
when `Company Name` = CompanyLongNameB' then 'B'
...
ELSE `Company Name`
END
What I would do is actually create a Webform with two columns
CompanyLongName, CompanyShortName
then JOIN the webform to my data using a FUSION or a DataSet View (it's a beta feature talk to your CSM)
then build a beastmode
IFNULL(CompanyShortName,CompanyLongName)
