How to rename variables in r?

I am a beginner in r and I am currently trying to change the name of my variables. There is a column called "var" and the column has two variables: Índice de volume de vendas no comércio varejista and Índice de receita nominal de vendas no comércio varejista, respectively. I would like to rename the first variable to "volume" and the second one to "receita". In order to do this I already tried to use the rename function, but it is not working. I already tried the following code:

rename(pmc_rvar, volume = Índice de volume de vendas no comércio varejista (Número-índice))

The following answer appears: Erro: unexpected symbol in "rename(pmc_rvar, volume = Índice de"

As you have got blank spaces, you need to either put the whole column name into backticks, or you need to remove or fill the blank spaces.

Try this:

library(dplyr)
   
pmc_rvar <- rename(pmc_rvar, volume = `Índice de volume de vendas no comércio varejista
    (Número-índice)`)
