How to copy column name to first row?

How can I copy column names of a table to first row so that when I try to stack (union) it with another table on same excel sheet, I can still see the column names?

Hi @JJJJC 

 

Can you sample input and expected output.

 

Edit: @Emil_Kos yup my approach would also be similar 😅

input1:

header1header2
A1
B2

 

input2:

header3header4
x3
z4

 

expected output:

header1header2
A1
B2
  
header3header4
x3
z4

 

Currently, when I try to union the two table by position, I would lose header3 and header4.
