Alias in OData select statement

Question

Do you know if there is any equivalent function to the SQL "as" statement in OData?

I need to do something like:

$select=field1 as revenue

Update (February 2020)

This request has been completed. Within OData, expressions can be given an alias within the $compute query option or within aggregations.

Something like this has been brought up to the OASIS committee (request: "allow expressions in the $select query option"), and the solution was to defer as a possible enhancement in future versions.
