I dont have a clear picture of what you want it to look like, can you mock it up in excel?

hmmm, don't see where they would come from in the screenshots, but considering your tool config what is going on is its taking input one (your feed with the f1 f2 etc headers) then the putting the other data below it. Since you have config by position it will decide that 'less than a month' is now f2, as it was in the second column

 

If you want it to be 'less that two months' instead of f2, then you need to flip the #1 and #2 order in the config

If that isnt what you are going for, you will likely want to go down the dynamic rename route

@wonka1234 One way of doing this with the Report Text tool and the table tool

@wonka1234 , you can use the report text tool and align the headers the way you want them  in your output file and then union it with rest of the data and output the data to excel using render tool as below.
