Dynamic field name coming out as blank

I’m working on code to transform data coming out of the “DataIntegrity” table, which is reading from an Excel spreadsheet, into a QVD. The spreadsheet has one metric record per week (in format YYYY-MM-DD), one column per metric. The resulting QVD will have a row per metric (“Item Branch”, “BOM Accuracy”, “Router Accuracy”, or “Work Center Accuracy”) and a column per month of the year in format “YYYY-MM” (e.g. 2022-01, 2022-02, etc.) storing the average for the recorded values for that month. My challenge at the moment is that, when I am creating the column at runtime, it is coming up as blank, I get the following message:

Blank field name not allowed

MasterData_ItemBranch_KPI:
LOAD
     'SNN' as Site,
     'Master Data' as Pillar,
     'Item Branch Master' as MetricName,
     'Supply Chain Scorecard' as SourceApp,

 

Avg([Item Branch]) as []

 

Resident
     DataIntegrity
Where
     Year(%AccuracyDate) >= '2021'
Group by
     %AccuracyDate

The code below might not be a 100% yet, but right now I’m focusing on the column name. I saw this post, but I think I’m not reflecting it right. The idea is that the average column name is generated at runtime:

 

[DataIntegrity]:
//CrossTable(Groups, Data, 1)
LOAD
	 Date as %AccuracyDate, 
     [Item Branch], 
     [BOM Accuracy], 
     [Router Accuracy], 
     [Work Center Accuracy]
FROM
[15.MasterDataAccuracy.xlsx]
(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Sheet1);

// TO DO: Convert to the same format as the metrics file
// Do for Shannon and Galway for all four metrics

MasterData_ItemBranch_KPI:
LOAD
'SNN' as Site,
'Master Data' as Pillar,
'Item Branch Master' as MetricName,
'Supply Chain Scorecard' as SourceApp,

Avg([Item Branch]) as [$(Text(Year(%AccuracyDate)) & chr(45) & Text(num(Month(%AccuracyDate))))]

Resident
DataIntegrity
Where
Year(%AccuracyDate) >= '2021'
Group by
%AccuracyDate
;

//store InventoryTurnsKPI_header into [$(varQVDFilePath)InventoryTurnsKPI.qvd](qvd);

store MasterData_ItemBranch_KPI into [$(varQVDFilePath)SC_Scorecard_KPI_MDSNNIM.qvd](qvd);

 

Can you please help me figure out how to produce the column name within the script?
