Is it possible to merge all columns in a Table rather than explicitly listing all the column names ([Column1], [Column2], ....., [Column183])

I'm attempting to identify the header row. To do this I need to find a key word in a column, this column is not fixed.

So I'm thinking of doing the following:
  • Duplicate Query1 = Query2
  • Add Index to Q1
  • Merge all columns in Query2
  • Add Index to Q2
  • Look for the header row keyword in Q2
  • Join Q2 result to Q1 using Index column.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
