The query contains more than one unnamed or duplicate field name
In SSRS when trying to refresh my dataset I get the error message "The query contains more than one unnamed or duplicate field name". If I run the stored procedure it executes fine. However the issue just exists in SSRS. I have listed my column names and I do not see the duplicate field name. Is there a query or steps I can take to identify what field name is causing the problem? Please advise.

I'm guessing that our awesome mind-reading skills used to interpret 'the query' resulted in a solution here in the first couple of comments.
In case it didn't thoughm just for kicks and giggles, post your query into this question, using a code block.

The column names had greater than and less than symbols in the name. SSRS interpreted this as underscores. So the field names appeared to be the same.
SSRS requires that every column name be unique within a data set.

Maybe, but do you have more than one column without a name, or two columns with the same name? This will often happen if you have any SELECT *'s, or Customers.CustomerID and Orders.CustomerID, both can be named CustomerID.
