Renaming a Dataset and Changing Its Description

You can rename and change the description of any dataset.

Renaming a dataset doesn't affect a workbook's reference to the dataset, and any workbooks using the dataset display the new name and continue to work as designed. When you add a dataset to a workbook, the workbook connects to the dataset by the dataset's fixed object ID, which was assigned when the dataset was created and saved, and not by its name. See Copying a Dataset's Object ID.

On the Home page, click Navigator and then click Data.
Click the Datasets tab.
Locate the dataset that you want to rename, click Actions, and then click Inspect.
Click the General tab.
Go to the Name field and rename the dataset.
Go to the Description field and update the dataset's description.
Click Save.
