## Problem

Some OData entity and field names include spaces (for example, "Insight Attributes" or "Insight Types"). This can cause issues when writing queries, creating measures, or referencing fields in tools like Power BI and Excel.

## Solution

These names come directly from the connector's OData model and can't be changed on the server side. If you need cleaner or standardized names, you can rename them in **Power BI Desktop** using the **Transform Data (Power Query)** editor:

1. Open **Transform Data** > **Queries pane**.
2. Select the entity or column and rename it.
3. Save and close.

> ℹ️ Your custom names persist after refresh. This is the recommended approach since the connector doesn't provide a renaming option.
