Spreadsheet Logger - Naming Data Fields

I need to name the data fieds specifically in my spreadsheets. Unfortunatly the neames default to the full path of the object whose data I am storing the spreadsheet.

How can I change the data field name to custom text that I specify?

Thanks,

There is no direct way to change the spreadsheet column labels in the Lookout Spreadsheet object. However, one work around is to create a named expression which points to the data member to be logged (in relative mode). Then log the expression (named in the desired manner) using the spreadsheet object.

Elephanty,

I guess the easiest way would be to create a Expression Object and log the expression with the name you want instead of a connection.

That's the only way I can think of for now.
