Reports 2.0: Ability to rename the labels on the Legend of a report

We have data streams coming in via MDA with names that, while applicable, are not ideal for reporting purposes.

Would like the ability to rename labels on a Report legend. i.e. in attached example, I would like to be able to change "docs-view" to read "Documentation" when I create the report in Reports 2.0.

      agreed!  Would help in cases when I'm populating dashboards for users and not having to explain to them the data field labels.

        Hi There,

        On clicking the gear icon of a field in show me or by, you have the option to  change the display name. Does this satisfy your use case?

        Thanks!

        No it wouldn't.  In this use case I'm showing Views by Page_Type.  The individual Page_Type names are what display on the chart.

        Here's a screen grab of the Reports 2.0 critieria to help you see what I'm talking about

        Bumping this one as I've recently had a customer ask the same question. It would help them when preparing reports to audiences who are not familiar with the names of the data tables and instead prefer to see the name of what the data represents.

          This has come up for us, AGAIN. I just want to report on whether or not a specific email assist outreach was opened or not.  My labels are 0 (unopened) and 1 (opened).  Seems like the simplest thing and I have to go out of my way to explain to my end users what they are actually looking at.  Tell me I'm missing something.  Or has anyone found a work around?

              I like the ask here. I've messaged our PM SME on reports to see if he has any input.

                This is an even bigger need than I realized.   For some odd reason our Months and Quarters in Salesforce are labeled oddly - and I have no control over it.  So anytime I need to aggregate by Month - this is what it will look like without the ability to manually override the row/column/pie labels in a chart/graph.

                And I really don't want to have to create a whole new MDA table process to correct this.
