# Dataset Columns in a Predicate Expression

You include at least one dataset column as part of the predicate expression.

Consider these requirements for dataset columns in a predicate expression.

- Column names are case-sensitive.
- Column names must be enclosed in single quotes ('). For example, `'Region' == "South"`

    Note A set of characters in double quotes is treated as a string rather than a column name.
- Single quotes in column names must be escaped. For example, `'Team\'s Name' == "West Region Accounts"`
