The permission prompt

 

Step 3

After you have provided the permissions, you will notice your OneDrive folder directory populate the pane on the left (just below the Add New Drive button). Now click the folder(s) which contain excel files you want to rename and then click Load Files. The files will now be listed out in the main area (just next to the renaming rules). You can select the files either manually or via the Select Files button.

 

Step 4

Select the rules you want to apply, enter the required text, select the options and click Add Rule. This is what happens in this step. Let’s take a brief look at each rule.

Selecting the renaming rules
  • New Name: With this rule, you can give a totally new name to the file.
  • Remove Text: With this rule, you can eliminate a single/ several characters (or words) from the filename. You can also choose if you want the first, last, or all instances of the text you entered have to be removed. You can even opt to have the case ignored.
  • Replace Text: You can replace text using this rule. All the remaining options of this rule are the exact same of the Remove Text rule.
  • Trim Text: This rule helps to trim the text (by the number of characters) at either the start or the end of the filename.
  • Prefix: With this rule, you can add a prefix to the filename.
  • Suffix: With this rule, you can add a suffix to the filename.
  • Numbering: You can start numbering the files in ascending order using this rule. You can choose if you want the numbering to be added as a prefix or a suffix, and also have to choose between a hyphen or the underscore sign to be added along with the numbers.
  • Insert At: With this rule, you can add text at specific places of the filename.
  • Lowercase: You can convert all your file names into lowercase titles.
  • Uppercase: With this feature, you can easily change the name of the excel file to all uppercase letters.
  • Title Case: With this feature, you can easily change the name of the excel file to all uppercase letters.
  • Swap: This rule allows you to swap the names on the either side of the identifier, based on the occurrences you specify.

 

Step 5

Once you have added all the rules, take a peek at the New Name column. When everything feels good, click the Rename button to start the rename operation.
