Detailed Specification
Overview
This feature allows users to assign display names to fields, field members, subtotals, and grand totals in DataPilot tables. By assigning a display name, you can alter the output of the table without changing its source data. Assignment is done by directly typing in a new name to the cell that contains the original name of an item whose name you wish to change.
Field names
When assigning a display name to a field name, the name must not be identical to any of the original field names nor any of the existing display names already assigned to fields.
Field member names
When assigning a display name to a field member name, the name must not be identical to any of the existing field members names nor to any of the display names already used for that particular field. Note that names used in other fields are allowed.

Grand totals
