Announcing smart rename support in the data model for Excel 2016

We are pleased to introduce a new Excel 2016 feature that improves the analyst’s workflow—smart rename support in the Power Pivot data model.
Now in Excel 2016, when you rename a table, column or DAX measure in the data model, the rename is seamlessly propagated through the workbook and all the affected objects in the workbook adjust to use the new name. Smart rename support in the data model significantly improves the scenarios when the user renames a table, column, calculated field, measure or hierarchy in the Power Pivot window.
Specifically, the following enhancements have been made:
- Affected DAX calculations now adjust to use the new names. This saves the user from manually finding and fixing the invalid DAX formulas.
- Affected PivotTables and Fields Lists now adjust to use the new names. This saves the user from manually rebuilding the PivotTables.
- In a similar manner, the affected PivotCharts and Fields Lists adjust to use the new names. This saves the user from manually rebuilding the PivotCharts, as the renamed objects were removed from the PivotChart before.
- And last but not least, the affected Slicers and Timelines adjust to use the new names. This saves the user from re-creating the Slicers and Timelines, as the affected Slicers and Timelines disappeared from the workbook before.
A live demonstration is better than a thousand of words, so let’s see the new experience in Excel 2016:

Oh my, that's true. I'm so lost with the different versions... Thank you!
See? I'm an Pro Plus user too, but I don't have the Office Updates button.
